shaving, shmaving

what the hell?

as i've alluded to before, i'm growing tired of shaving. and seeing the fact that gillette is about to break a 6 blade razor got my ire up again. during this holiday season, i've grown very lazy. i grew a beard last week, shaved once, and then have been mangy since last tuesday. yesterday i decided to shave, but then stopped short and shaved a pathetic goat.

for those of you in the know, my scroatee may even be weaker than the dudeman's chin pubes. i have the tendancy to grow pretty thick chin hair and then have trouble linking it to my pathetic upper lip fuzz. the fuzz is still coming in blonde rather than my natural poo brown hair, so i don't know what the hell is up. it seems to be coming in a little better than several years ago when i last tried it, but i still feel dumb.

i hate goats. (love the animals, just not the facial hair.) i think they're ridiculous. i'd much rather go with the 70's porn stache, but i can't grow that. or maybe the abe lincoln, but i'm sure that just wouldn't work unless i got a matching stove top and i'm not about to do that. maybe the neckbeard would be fun, but i have a feeling the wife or the employer would fail to support that. i feel like such a jackass with this thing. i'll try to remember to post a pic soon.

anyway....6 blades? come on! the jump from 2 to 3 was revolutionary. i could take the transition to 4, but to completely skip 5 blades and go to 6? that's just downright pompous.

much like my idea for a lawn-sized mower (place on lawn, flip switch and viola...yardwork is done!), i can't wait until the day when you put your face in a mask and come out clean shaven. how many blades will that take? or will it be something cool i don't even know about? now that's a razor to get excited about.
