Today, my electric razor broke down during shaving. So now I have a face which is shaved on the right hand side and has a beard on the left. I don't own blades, so I'll have to go to work looking like this. FML

Hi guys, OP here! Just to clarify a little: I shaved with blades once, but that was a disaster. Blood everywhere and it toon way longer than shaving with an electric razor. Therefore, no blades! My old electric razor was actually almost 14 years old, so I could have expected this. However, it stopped working all of a sudden, without any signs of failing previously! However, stores for electronics tend to open at 10am here in The Netherlands, while I start working at 8:30. So no opportunity to buy a new one before work! It was the first thing I did when coming out of the office though :-) As for my co-workers: we don't have our own desks, but you can sit anywhere you like. I chose a private office for the day, so I just got laughed at by my boss and nog by anyone else :-)

This does razor question. Why don't you have spares?

Takes a whole new meaning to "shave it for later"

Sorry for the hairy situtation, OP. Maybe keep some disposables around from now on just in case? Hope you're not too traumatized.

in most grocery stores, on the hygiene aisle, there are often razors in pack of 2 for less than 70 cents. i keep some in my car in case something like this happens.

Stop at 7-11 and buy a razor. Shave at work with soap. I've done it before no problem. Overcome your obstacles dude. Don't give up so easy!

oh that's right I forgot you can't pick up a pack of razors at literally any gas station, drug store, grocery store, convince store and dollar store. it's a shame you can't ask a neighbor to hook you up or friend and of course keeping a backup razor in your house and car is illigal now. sorry buddy but with a little thought you could have solved this problem in the amount of time it took you to write this post. YDI To anything that happens at that point.

hmm funny most of a day and the down rate are -1 oh the sting of disapproval from... more or less you, how will i recover .see this is a man-child problem. a men not using any sense of forthought or the problem solving skills I would expect of any well adjusted 8 year old, and instead of easily solving his super minor problem decided to curse the heavens. yeah not remotely sorry for calling him on that.

Apparently you did not read OP's reply (#13). He lives in the Netherlands. There is no 7-11 (or CVS, et. al) in his area. The only shops he had available didn't open until AFTER his shift started. He also stated he didn't HAVE a backup razor, as he didn't have much luck with blades early on. There have been plenty of posts covering that some people are bad with blades, and prefer other methods. I applaud you though; you are the only person I know who's never been unprepared for/run out of anything. A perfect life must be nice.

#73 I suppose I could fall into your obvious foolishness and talk about how of course I run out of stuff. but guess what when it comes to the basics, food, grooming products, condoms, sources of fire yeah I keep backups because of the kick as new thing called foresight and this other very new concept called being an adult.

#73 maybe YOU should you know pay attention to what people say. Because he didn't say there were no stores like that. He said there were no stores that sell electric until 10 soooo I am beginning to see why maybe you're so jealous of my ability to not find myself without stuff I need. I have basic reasoning and observation skills you should work on that. you know while learning to pay attention to what people say.

Well, either shave more often, so it's not so obvious when you miss a day, or stop at the drug store and pick up some blades. There are two in my area that are open all night, and the others open pretty early.

Oh man, lol, I've never had it half done before. It had always just barely finished. I believe Karma had you in mind for something.

Or you could go to the store buy one and use their restroom and tell your job you're running late
