Oh So Boring…

The trials and tribulations of a man and his life. Tribulations, that's an odd word. Let's blog about it…

Requiem For a Goatee

I am sad to report the end of the Goatee of the Summer of ’09. Its end was swift-ish, and blame is placed on the brutal Braun.

Yes, this morning, as I was shaving with my (admittedly old) Braun shaver, that weird cutter bar thing in the middle of the foils decided that the best course of action was to grab onto some beard hairs. Too many hairs. At once.

This was…painful, shall we say. Apparently, when pain is greater than a stubbed toe, but less than a kidney stone, I swear. A lot. Voluminously.

After swearing and blinking away the tears the pain brought to my eyes, I groped around and finally groped for and found some scissors, I was able to extricate shaver from beard. At this point my beard was suddenly and severely lop-sided, so, after clearing out the shaver, the rest went away as well.

Au revoir, mon barbe!

ETA: As asked, a pic of the shavéd Matt:

Alas, poor Beard, you will be missed
