I’ve just had an interesting week or so trying to shave a not-particularly solid beard. I broke blade razor on my face. I used up god only knows how many pathetic disposables of all known brands to finish the shave.
I’ve just spent about 40 minutes sawing my way through a beard. Up until this point the beard was winning.
I have an electric razor. It does eventually do the job. On longer beard hair, it’s like a tug of war with a lawnmower. It sprays hairs all over.
Oddly, I have better things to do than vacuum myself trying to get rid of this hair frag.
I’ve also spent most of an Australian summer with an itchy beard. Not at all impressed.
There used to be electric razors with shields that caught the hair. You simply detached the mesh to clean them. You didn’t clog the blades, either.
There used to be disposable razors that actually shaved. I could do a full dry shave in less time that it takes to read this sentence. These “modern” things might or might not cut cheese on a good day.
There used to be people who know how to make razors that actually worked.
We’re talking basic maintenance.
A good shave should take 5 minutes.
Say you want to do a bit of simple grooming.
You want to resemble a mammal, for instance.
Do you want to leave a trail of hair and embarrassment everywhere?
Do you want to be guessing whether your razor can do the job?
I don’t.
No, I do not want to wear a bib when shaving.
Nor do I want to wear a spacesuit.
I want the job done in 5 minutes.
Clear?
Now get off your arses, you vaginal improbabilities, Prove you can make a decent razor worthy of the name.
