Shave Check

I was able to shave today as it is 80 outside. Love 80 degree weather.

I shaved in the bathtub because I didn't want to tie up the other bathroom. Takes me 10-15 minutes to shave.

I hate shaving, it is one of the reasons I hate maleness. Yet, I do it because of self-image, comfort and I look less like my dad that way.

I got a haircut on Saturday. I do not know if you will like it. Have a look and see...

Oh, Gosh

I am still sick. My throat is no longer sore unless I cough.

This does not excuse having beastly hair on my face. I am better than what I was in the last few posts. I no longer have a fever and the mucous is subsiding. I still cough some up but it is not as bad.

Why does this keep coming up? I am unused to being sick. I haven't been sick in a long time. I stay inside all the time and don't go anywhere.

I scrubbed my nose with proactiv as I said I would. I do not know if it made a difference.

I did have an accident. There are 2 overlapping scars on my upper lip. The older one was from when I was a kid and my mom's Chihuahua bit me. The other, which I cut, was from a can hitting me in the mouth as I took down a display in the old store I used to work in.

I hate multiple bladed razors. I do not know why I have one. I was using an old shaving cream as I ran out of the Aveeno kind.

I am running out of everything, deodorant, shampoo, orange juice, no cookies, it's stupid. There is a large interval typical of 31 day months between when my benefit comes.

I will be okay, I believe. I am getting better but I am having urinary issues related to my prostate gland problems. I don't like peeing on myself. It hurts when I don't do the m-thing for a while. I did not feel like it when I was sicker than I am now.

If this illness was caused by a bacterium, it could migrate down to the prostate and give me a bacterial infection, which hurts like a mf.

Anyway, this is a shave check post. I do not feel 100% so I am not as cute as I could be. I desperately need a haircut.

That spot on my lip is where I cut that canned vegetable can scar, it's blood.

Shave Sick

I have become sick, cold or something. It is respiratory, something that has happened before more than once.

I did work in retail for a very long time. Contact with the public, whether be it at school or work, you can catch what others bring about.

This may have been what happened here. I may be isolated by my anxiety disorder but others here are not.

I didn't shave on Tuesday because I didn't feel my facial hair had grown enough to comfortably shave it. I did it on Thursday, when it was cold and as I am ill at the moment. Willpower is strong when it kicks in.

I wish it would stop growing. I could take certain poisonous hormones and it would but then, I would really get gynecomastia. If I did, I would show off my tits. I can do so now but I don't have them to show. Just pectorals. As it should be.

I am not female in appearance no matter what others have said. I am pale because I don't go outside. If I exposed my skin to the sun, I would burn or get new freckles, neither a good thing.

Short of posting an image of my male parts, which is possible, I assure you I am male in mind and body, wants and desires.

My shave check picture. I am sick, I am sorry I don't look better.

Finally Shave

It has been way too cold to shave. It was like 37 in the daytime on Tuesday, when I normally shave my face.

I shaved my other parts last night, chest to private areas. I do that with a Philips Bodygroom electric razor which cannot be used on face. Not unless you want to ravage your skin.

My skin's been ravaged enough recently.

The painful scratch is healing and doesn't hurt as badly but any pressure on it and it will. Because it is on the outer edge of my left 'cheek' I can sit with relatively no discomfort. (Sitting on a soft chair always hurts my prostate)

Anyhow, this time was my face with a Schick Hydro 3 razor and Aveeno face wash, shaving cream and aftershave lotion. I use Aveeno for a reason. My skin is sensitive. I mean, I dry out fiercely, even my male part does. I have been using a hydrating body wash so that helps.

I have Aveeno skin lotion, which I have used for a long time.

I was up earlier than normal today and took advantage of the 'warmest' part of the day to do this. Not that 56 is warm.

Here is my shave check picture:

My lips are critically dry and I did not do anything about it until after I shaved. Sorry for the blemish there.

Painful Shave

It was Tuesday again. Time to shave. Actually, did it today because a powerful cold front is coming imminently. I remember those kinds of cold fronts when I was a kid. 
I'd be outside riding my bike or something else, spent a lot of time outside in the age before Playstations and cell phones and the like.

That may be the problem with kids nowadays but I don't have any so really, should it be my concern?
I cannot rule out that I never will. Surely a girl is still out there for me to love.

The point here is Shave Check and it is done. I need a new razor, mentioned that before and totally did not get one. Like an idiot, I totally forgot.

I have to shave 3 or 4 more times before I can get a new one. Just great.

Here is my shave check picture. Forgive the lighting, it is wintertime and the sun sets earlier.

Tuesday Again

You ought to know by now that I shave on Tuesdays. I hate shaving, it hurts. I would try electric but it doesn't do such a good job. I was unable to get a new razor.

When I go  to the store for the 1 time of the month, it is at night and the stupid wm associates working get in the way. When I worked at wm, you had to move or else. I guess they weren't told that.

I can't use the Bodygroom in the daytime, privacy issues. I am naked for my body shave, usually right before a shower. So, I will tonight.

I will post my pelvic shave check picture later if you want.

Instead, this is about my poor face. I cut my chin but it will be all right, that fucking razor slipped in my hand. It won't leave a blemish.

I will get a better razor and maybe change how I shave. I don't know, no one told me.

Not This Time

I took a shave check picture like I do after every shave but I did not like it. Looked too disheveled. I am conscious that my hair is messy in some of the pictures, more so in this one but that isn't the focus of the picture.

I could post my pelvic shave check picture if you were interested. I lost the cord to my bodygroom razor's charger. I have a tangle of wires here and it probably is among them. I will need to find it or else. The razor's battery is low.

I don't want to get shaving and it die on me. That happened when I first started using bodygroom razors 5 years ago.

Body hair is easy to shave, pubic, not so much. Have to be careful.

Far and away, the part I hate to shave most is my face. It hurts and maybe it is the wet shave. It was cold and sitting by the heater dries my skin out. Moisture was restored by Aveeno and Dove. I use Dove on my face only but I just got a new Cetaphil bar so I will be using that until it is worn away.

I am sorry if you wanted a picture. I will try to take a better one next week.

Shaving Hurts

I have written a lot about I hate being male. One of the things I hate most is body hair. Androgenic hair. One of the worst places is on the face.

I can shave other parts with my Bodygroom razor which is easier and hurts less. Cannot use it on face nor would I want to.

I use Aveeno products and I shave with a Schick Hydro 3-blade razor. It may be time for a new one that doesn't hurt so bad.

I shave every Tuesday. The idea is to focus and people to leave me alone. That is true much of the time but especially here.

Why does it hurt? One is dragging sharp pieces of metal across the face. Why would you think it doesn't hurt? I think of girls who shave their armpits, legs, sometimes the private area. Is this not as painful?

Have no way of knowing.

All I know is that as long as I grow androgenic hair, I will shave it off. Maybe in the future, they can depilate hair with light instead of a sharp piece of metal.

Not that I could afford such a thing. Here is my shave check picture...

Still cute at 39? I hope so.

Cold, but....

This cold, I hate it. My hands are frozen, it seems. I hold them in front of the heater and dry my skin out. It is Tuesday. That means I shave. I did and was careful. I have a few blemishes but it will heal.

I always look better the next day. I smile because over my life, it has been ingrained to smile when your picture is taken. Even my un-cute DL picture.

I got some shaving cream on my glasses. I think I got it all. I can't see without them.

Before all this, I washed my face with Cetaphil. That helps when skin is dry enough to flake off, a problem I had when I worked at wm.

Cetaphil costs a lot of money so I will conserve it until I can get some more.

I use Dove Sensitive on my face during the winter time. Make fun if you must but unless you are cursed with dry skin, you wouldn't know what helps.

It was cold but I did it. Here is my Shave Check picture.

Ouch

I shave every Tuesday or so, Hate Sunday next time because I have to go to the store that night.

I was too warm, this summer refuses to let go. Should have been cold by now but nope, I need to wash my warm clothes. Haven't worn them since April.

As yet again, I cannot get a ride to the Laundromat and laundry has become huge so I doubt if I have enough money to do it. I use 2 machines, one for towels and pants and one for everything else.

I use 2 dryers the same way. I may have to use three if it is too huge. I will get a laundry bag for my warm clothes.

My male pain is very bad but to get tmi for a moment, I have an ant bite on my anal area. The left side of the orifice is swollen a little bit. I didn't notice this until I took a shave check picture. Can't post it here without making my blog an 'adult' one and you know, my cousin reads this. I don't want to be too exposed.

Instead, you can see my face Shave Check image. I was distracted by a game show on tv and cut... fool.

So Angry

I don't use the phrase 'pissed-off' ever but I am using it now because I am.

I have mentioned on several occasions in the past that I cannot sleep without my radio. It is something I have done since I was child, it will be something I will do until I am gone.

What happened? The local electric power cooperative shut off the power some time between 7 am and it came back on just before 12 pm. The stated reason was to perform upgrades to their power system. Maybe it won't be so threadbare.

I have said we haven't had a bad thunderstorm go through here in some time. We have had big wind and small hail but not la tormenta, the supercell storms.

In one of those types of storms, the power usually always goes out. Sitting in the dark, scared enough that you would pee in your pants. Storms like that stroke my anxiety with a wire bbq grill cleaning brush.

I did not get much sleep, like 2 hours. I woke up because my radio was off. I feel like hell. I didn't want to shave but I did because I need to flip to the 'white-gray' part of my color pattern which is suffering mightily because I can't get a ride to the Laundromat to wash my dirty clothes.

Feelings will moderate and I will chill. Being angry causes stress which damaged my prostate gland. I was angry at wm a lot when I worked there.

I am sorry if my shave check picture reflects this. I am still angry.

Not a Bad Picture

I shave every Tuesday or so. It is getting colder and soon I will have to think of a way of not freezing as I stand there in my underwear splashing water on my skin. Not to mention that the shave gel is cold, so is the aftershave lotion.

I take shave check pictures before applying the aftershave.

I am becoming cognizant that natural lighting is better for pictures than the glare of those curly mini-fluorescent lights that cost more than the old kind but are generally better.

There is a lot I still have to learn about my camera (Canon PowerShot SX 160 IS).

This is the picture I took today, I don't look so bad. I wish a female would say so.

On my forehead is a little mark. When I was fixing the water line 3 days ago, I hit my head on a part of the floor structure. It will go away eventually. If you touch it, it hurts. I should have been more careful.

A Better Shave

I hate shaving and I hate facial hair more. I wish I didn't have it. I shave every Tuesday because it hurts to do it more.

Dragging sharp pieces of metal across your skin seems barbaric. Why can't they find an economical way to do away with androgenic hair?

I took it slowly this time but I wish the shave gel was warm, it was cold. Heating a pressurized can is beyond stupid. Might think of another way, like when it is in the shave bowl.

I wonder why it is okay to shave far more sensitive skin with a Bodygroom electric razor but it cannot be used on face. I don't like electric face razors. I have one for when it is too cold to wet shave.

I will get a new one before the next cold time.

I could post all of my shave check pictures but do you want to see that?

Just my face this time.

Ouch

I was shaving and the Schick Hydro razor sliced into my skin. Damn it. I am SICK of shaving. I have to find a new razor. I need to have one that does not cut me so bad.

I did take a shave check picture but I am not posting it.

I don't know why humans need androgenic hair. It has no point in human society. Shaving it, face, body, pubic area, legs, has been done since the Ancient Egyptians.

I have to drag sharp pieces of metal or use a mechanical shimmying mini-saw blade to shave my androgenic hair. You cant use Bodygroom on your face. It would hurt and be too rough. But it's okay to shave one's scrotum with it. Okay....

Why do I do this? I hate it, I like smooth skin like that I had before I had androgenic hair. But as I get further from those days, it becomes nigh intolerable.

I don't have a female in my life to look good for. Until this happens, likely or not, I will do what I like. The more I think about it, I believe I suffer without a female in my life.

No, I know I suffer.

Need a New Razor

I am hungry yes, but that doesn't stop the weekly dragging of sharp pieces of metal across my face. I ran out of Aveeno shave cream and had to use an unfamiliar kind. This did not help keep from hurting me like Aveeno does.

I hate shaving, I hate facial hair. I would take estrogen to make it stop but I don't want boobies.

I don't know. My facial hair is mostly gray now. It isn't attractive and I don't like having it or the way it feels.

This isn't about showing my age, it is about feeling.

I shave my other parts with an electric razor meant for that. That's about feeling, too, but also, adds neotenal appeal to me, I believe.

I stopped posting shave check pictures but I will post this one to show me when I am hungry. I will get food tonight, in 6.5 hours. I am going to Jack in the Box, mainly because it is open at that time of night.

Have a look. Do I seem appealing to you?

Shave Check... Hate It So

One of the things I hate most about being male, other than having male genitals, is shaving. Dragging a multi-bladed series of metal strips across what is sensitive skin seems barbaric. Yes, it hurts. It did not hurt so this time because I took my time and was careful.

I am starting to show my age, but then I am stressed. My inconsiderate and self-interested sister is to blame for this time.

I hope you like this, do I remain cute? I am almost 40, you know.

Changing Appearance?

I don't know but I look and feel different. I don't want to post any more shave pictures but I am sharing this one because I feel that I look different. Maybe you can compare to the other shave pictures posted in the past.

A Better Picture

I am not happy with these pictures because my hair looked awful. So I am trying to flip between non-sulfate shampoo and clarifying shampoo. This has made my hair look better. You decide. This shaving was interrupted rudely so it may not be good.

 

Feeling Ugly

It's shave time again...

I don't pay that much attention when near a mirror. I mean, I know what I look like. I have an issue with pores on my nose but blasting it with proactiv all but stabilized it by stripping all the moisture out of it. I cut back, my nose itches too much when that happens.

I never thought about my nose. It was just there. It is kind of an ugly feature common to all humans. I am male and have a male face. Though I have been mistaken for a girl on several occasions. WTF?

I am posting this picture with a question. What do you think of my face? Do you like it? Am I still 'cute' like the girls said when I was younger?

Oh, just feeling anxiety because of this perception that I am ugly. I know I am not but it feels that way.

Tired of Shave Pictures?

I don't like facial hair. It has been graying for like 7 years now. It is mostly gray near the mouth and chin, darker on cheeks and throat.

I am not going to take a picture  of me with it so do not ask.

I shaved my parts two days ago but my face today. I cannot post those parts check photos, prudes and all, so I will post this.

I hate shaving as much as I hate being male in the first place. But it has to be done for self-image, comfort, and not looking like my dad so much.

I wonder if I did have my parts removed, if facial hair would stop growing. A mentally sound person doesn't wonder such things but I am not mentally sound with anxiety disorder coiled around my soul like concertina wire.

Maleness causes anxiety. Well, to be truthful, a lot of things do, breathing can cause it even. But maybe you like me as I am. I wish someone would post a comment and say so.

Oh, and about my hair. I wash it at 3 am or so every night. I woke up with this hair and kind of like it. I don't know if that affects my appeal. I wish someone would tell me.
