Rubber Bumpers, Dull Blades
Let’s face it. Society today does everything possible to safeguard people from their own laziness, incompetence and carelessness.
Tonight, I became an example of someone who has come to rely on these rubber bumpers that cover every sharp edge around me.
In this case, it was sharp indeed…
A little background:
Lately, I’ve been working very hard on cutting my monthly expenses. It’s become somewhat of a game for me, and I’m enjoying it thoroughly.
On a visit to Sam’s Club with my friend Tricia, I went to buy a new supply of my luxurious Intuition Razors, which have allowed me to whisk away leg hair with ease in under a minute for quite some time with no traumatic injuries. I looked at the price of this luxury, and my eyes darted immediately to a 52-pack of basic, two blade razors just to the right of my trusted Intuition. It cost 10 dollars less, and I could have a new razor per week for a year.
Tricia and I debated it, and decided to split the ghetto razors… We could stretch this one week scenario to two weeks easily! And at $8 a crack for a years worth of acceptably shaved legs? Ding ding ding!
That was months ago. Tonight, if you saw me post-bath, you’d think I had shaved for the very first time, using a dull straight blade.
Fine. I was in a hurry.
Fine. I got a little too comfortable with these agony-causing hell sticks.
Yes, I had to use two LARGE Band-Aids to stop the hemorrhaging.
Yes, it probably looks like I was attacked by a villain wielding a Pampered Chef vegetable peeler.
Some people will say I should have trusted my “Intuition.” However, I take full responsibility for my actions, and will stick to my budget-friendly changes!
Too weird, I was just thinking about those razors the other day and wanted to get your opinion. They S*CK!!! I always manage to knick myself and you’re right, the bleeding never ends. That said, I still have about a year’s supply left (haha) and continue to use them.
We’ll have to split some pricier ones next time!
