I have comitted a sin and now I'm paying in blood.
I haven't had a lot of luck with my shaves in the past few days. At least twice this week I nicked my neck and ended up with a bloody collar.
Then two days ago I was shaving when my mother in-law was cooking. Where I live, with my in-laws, the only place to shave is in the kitchen. So I was shaving and my mother in-law was standing next to me cooking some Chinese thing that smelt bad in a huge wok. I'm quite used to distractions when I shave, but what happened next was too much. While I was carefully negotiating my chin, my mother in-law whacked the wok with a the wok shovel thingy. Just at that moment I sliced off a pimple sized chunk of skin.
And this mornings shave I managed to nick my cheek. This is something that I have never done before. The cheek is the easiest place to shave. I could shave my cheek with a broken beer bottle while blindfolded and not cut myself there. But today the razor was thirsty for blood.
Each of these times I have bled like a stuck pig. Even when the cuts weren't bad, I still bled like I had cut off an ear.
Have I done something to annoy the razor gods? Could my high blood pressure be making me bleed more?
