Until the Razor Cuts

I’ve managed to give myself a number of severe razor cuts. I have red, bleeding sores all over my chin and have sliced a part of my lip off. I did this a few days ago but it still has not healed and is continuing to bleed every time I speak. It would not be so bad but I look like I’ve been repeatedly punched in the mouth. I had to give two presentations this morning whilst looking like I had been involved in a violent weekend fracas.

I remember the time when I fell head first onto a pint of Stella, ah the memories. I received multiple stitches to my lips, eye and nose. Upon returning to work I was expected to give an overview to three new sales staff. I had great difficulty talking due to the gaping wound on my lip. Having a face full of stitches is not a viable excuse not to give a presentation.

I do hate shaving though and often manage to cut myself. I also have issues with shaving rash. I once grew a beard; I thought I looked quite cool until a friend said I looked like a crazy person. Off with the beard. Also, beards don’t work when dressed as a girl, it just doesn’t look right - amazingly. One problem I’ve had to deal with is having a close shave, cutting oneself, then putting on make up. The blood appearing through foundation does not look pretty.

Electrolysis would solve all my problems, if it wasn’t so damned expensive.

    Have you tried electrocution? You have to do it sitting in the bath.

    Sorry, I meant Electrification. You have to do it outside in a thunderstorm. Naked.

    Grae uses one of those buzzy buzzy shaver things when his skin gets sore. He also uses this lovely shaving moisturizing balm that I get from Boots and that helps too.
    I hate shaving. I suppose you can’t use Veet or anything like that on your face can you?? NB. I shave my legs, nit my chin, in case you were wondering…

    Wasn’t Electofiction a band with Ian McCulloch on vox?
    Jo Veet would not work on the chin. Neither does it work on the chest or legs. It burns burns burns.
