It was one of those days...

**Edbear** · 11th March 2015, 10:56

So I had a shave didn't I? I had just cleaned my shaver and it always shaves nice and quick after a cleaning. So far, so good.

Spotting a tube on the shelf I read, "Aloe Vera" so thought that was a great product to use as an aftershave. Put some on and started rubbing it in gently and my skin started to burn. Read the rest of the label... "Hand Sanitiser "!

It gets better! Quickly washing my face I looked again at the little shelf and saw a tube of Avon Skin-so-Soft. Fabulous, should help my now sensitive freshly shaved face. Put some on and started rubbing it in... Similar reaction! Frantically drenching the flannel I washed my face again! Read the small print- "Facial hair Remover"...

Thoroughly defeated, I went out and found my own tube of actual moisturiser and glumly spread it liberally...

See .. men are not meant to fuck around with beauty products ...

A quick wash with Solvol, swipe the hair back with fingers and you're on your way .. pain and hassle free ..

A good job you didn't need to moisturize any other sensitive skin

My one of those days involves having a job second interview. Went so well the guy was talking about taking references and giving me a contract tomorrow. 90 minutes later a call saying it was a no go because they didn't think I'd stay long term as I was more interested in enterprise level IT stuff than 100-300 seats. So a bit like having that just shaved feeling and then having someone slap depilating cream on my scrotum.

I think I'm over quota...

aftershave is bad for your skin.

If you need moisturiser after then your shave products are wrong.

'clean' your shaver??
Women clean.

A man would have said
'sharpened my razor.'

what a bitch.

Nah, then he'll be a hipster and have to build a cafe racer or a bobber. Or maybe even buy one of those BMW R Nine-T's and stay at hotels recommended by Trivago.
