Tales of 'The Shave'

So I'm here in Belmont, CA for training on Oracle. I'm have pretty much all I need except for shaving cream. I call up the operator an ask if they have some. The lady tells me that the vending machine has it. So I run down and even though it's $2.00 for a small pack of cream and a cheap razor I buy it.

I run up and open the package only to find the package was broke and the cream was dried up. I pondered about it and though that if I added water it would come back. So I kick on the shower finger out the tiny dab but it didn't work.

Fustrated I figured I'd be MANly and shave with out cream. But with my whiskers with a one and a half day growth it's a train wreck. I nicked my self 6 times just around my chin.

So looking around I see a bar of soap! Ahhh... So I lather up and start hacking at it. But the soap starts to thin and eventually I get fustrated only this time with soap in my eye!

Then I get this wild idea. Toothpaste!!! I grab the tube lay out a dab and smear it on. It begins a slight tingle. I start shaving but the tingle get stronger. The mint must be 100x stronger on a face, especially with existing nicks!

At this point I'm nearly done so I just finish up. I eventually finish up with a semi decent shave. All in all I have a face with 6 nicks, super clean and soft from the soap, and fresh with a minty scent. I guess it will work for the evening...all I need now is a female partner to test it out =)

Moral of the story: Only shave with designated shaving cream.
