The chewed up razor

The horrible little dog that is staying with me just chewed up and completely ruined my $70 electric razor.

I will not be able to shave until I truck my ass out to a Target three days before Christmas to buy myself another. I'm really happy to be spending $70 on this sort of necessary shit right before the holiday.

That sucks. I am so, so mad.

Why don't you just buy a manual razor?

Never have, never will.

They're scary! I don't want to cut myself. No thanks!

(Seriously, I've never used a non-electric razor. I hate even watching people do it. Makes me queasy. That sound. Plus, I hate the feel of my skin with a really close shave.)

Maybe you could mention it to the owner of the dog? I know if somebody was dogsitting for me I'd never let them replace something my dog had destroyed. Also, stores usually have pretty good deals on electric razors at this time of year.

It's annoying enough when your own dog chews up your stuff, but when someone else's dog does it, it's really frustrating. A former friend (not former because of this though) had a dog who destroyed my Kate Spade purse. I still get a little sad when I think about it.

I hear what you're saying about regular old razors, but you wont cut yourself, and you'll get a better shave. Just saying that if you can overcome your aversion to them, you will get a better shave. I suggest the Mach 3. Although over a lifetime, electric razors are probably way cheaper than buying razor blades all the time.

Morgan: I was hesitant, since she's lost both her father and grandfather in the last two weeks, but I ended up telling her.

Rex-B: If by "better," you mean "closer," then I don't want to have a better shave. I just can't stand the feel of my face after a clean shave. I usually leave a little stubble regardless.
