Thread: imprompt to shaving rig

So today I was suppose to be off, was going to give the whiskers a rest.
Well that didn't work out. I got called and need to come in. I don't have a sharp razor at this time and threaded stud on my DE snapped off when i was letting my 9yrold look at it(without blade in it of course.
I had the option of shaving with a straight that needs work or come up with something. I came up with snapping a DE blade in half and clipping (small paper binders) to an open scissors. I know thats ghetto, a rig, a dangerous idea; but it worked. It was ackward and bit me a couple times because of it. I figured it could work more often in a pinch if needed. I got the idea from seeing the generic shavettes on the bay that take a half DE blade. Anyway it turned out better than I thought it would.

Now I have to hurry into work cause I spent too much time telling you guys about this.

Wow! What an ordeal.

You're quite a Mr McGyver, ain't you? Can we get a thread about impro shaving?

Tape, de and butterknife might work too. Or superglue a de to some sort of shaft.

Yikes ! I just thought I had seen some scary things. LOL

Brave! That's all I have to say.

thats pretty awesome....i think i would of just went to work looking like grizzly adams before i did that

Yikes!

Sometimes I think this hobby includes a healthy dose of insanity

Another reason to have more razors than almost anybody (that don't have RAD) think you need.

I think you're on to something. That the logic to justify more shaving gear. I will see if I can work the Christmas angle too.

They call YOU in on your day off and expect you to arrive shaved?
They'd be lucky if I showed up in pants.
