To add further insult to the cruddy day today has been, I hopped in the shower for a shave. Now, a while back, I gave up 4-8 bladed razors that cost a whole bunch and, in a move that could only be seen as a rejection of fractal time and the Timewave, I returned to two bladed disposables.  The Gillette ones were giving me a much better shave than I'd had with the SUPARMULTIBLADE razors in forever, and it was good. This weekend, I ran out of disposable razors and shaving foam, so I went out to buy some.

They didn't have any Gillette ones at the store I went to, so I get BESTY EX disposables. They claim to have DIAMOND-LIKE CARBON STEEL, so how can it be bad? Also couldn't find shaving foam for some reason, so I got shaving gel.  This of course causes a problem because now I've changed two variables in my shaving routine, and when things SUCK ASS (and they do), I don't know which one is the problem.

The blade just gets stuck in the gel, doesn't cut the hairs, and instead, cuts me, so I bleed fucking everywhere. I haven't had this many cuts while shaving in... fuck, years.  For years, the only time I'd bleed during shaving is if I cut the top off a zit (yes yes, gross eww TMI, stfu and deal).  But now, these shitty things, i'm bleeding fucking everywhere.

I thought, "Oh, maybe I used too much gel. It's different from foam, after all." So this time, I tried less. SAME FUCKING RESULT.  But I don't know if it's the gel's fault, the razor's fault, or both.  At any rate, I've tossed the gel and the razors and will go hunting for proper shit tomororw.  Don't mind me, just hemorrhaging money in a month that's expensive and before a month that will be even expensiver. :(
