Two random thoughts

[andrewducker]

1) Shaving after a shower always means doing it in a foggy mirror, wearing foggy glasses, which means there is _always_ a small patch somewhere I miss. Frequently it's a tiny line on the tip of my chin, where the downstroke from the lips and the upstroke from the adam's apple clearly don't quite meet.

2) The packet of fish fingers I bought has fourteen fish fingers in it. Seven is clearly too many to eat at once, which leaves me wondering how they intend me to divide them up - two meals involving five fish fingers, and a mini-meal of four? Three lots of four and a midnight snack of two? A big pile of fish-fingers in the middle of the table, spread between those who are fast enough with a fork? Or is it just a cunning ploy to make me buy another packet when I get down to four, so that I can get one out of it and have a reasonable number again?

This is one of those things similar to the whole buns/hot dog dilemma... where packs of buns for hot dogs have a different number to the number of hot dogs in a pack...

Two adults (five each)
Two children (two each)

Once upon a time, it would have been three for the adults, but stomachs are now larger.

I would still feel guilty eating more than three.

Three fish fingers is not actually very much fish. Certainly less than the amount in the pieces of fish you've made me before.

Sometimes I really want to wear my contacts into the shower.

No matter how I try there is invariably this long thin line on my shin that I miss... and legs are the easy stuff.

1. Try wiping the mirror with tissues?

2. You Think Too Much.

1) wipe the mirror with soap (or spit, which divers use on their goggles I believe)

2) I've never eaten more than three fish fingers at one sitting, but then I stopped eating them at fifteen.

Shaving after a shower always means doing it in a foggy mirror

To avoid that, I sometimes put a towel over the mirror, which keeps it from fogging it it's close enough against it. Only works where such an arrangement is physically possible, of course.

I generally open the door to the bathroom. Of course, I don't share a flat with anyone who hasn't seen me naked (well...I didn't up until a couple of days ago, and the new resident can't even lift his own head yet).

Once I've lathered up the mirror is usually reasonably clear, or doesn't fog up again with a wipe.

I still get those thin lines of hair..or single short hairs. Corner of the mouth, just under the bottom lip most often. Occasionally I'll miss a small strip on the edge of the growth that I've missed, which will then proceed to bug me the rest of the day.

make it one big stroke from the lip to the adams apple?

I shave after showering and have the foggy mirror problem too, but my back-stop solution (for when things like wiping it and opening the window and door don't or can't work - e.g. when it's bloody freezing outside) is to run my off-hand over my face after the shave to double-check. I find my fingertips are sensitive enough to spot problems that my eyes don't even under good viewing conditions.

I've experimented with shaving before showering, but the results are not pretty and I really can't recommend it.

get some of the old style whipped cream in a can style shaving foam (non of this King of Shaves poncy gel-y crap)and wipe it all over your (non foggy non post shower) mirror, and then rub it off. This actually stops your mirror from steaming up. I tried it once, when I had some real foam (these days i just use soap and a broken bottle) and it worked. It is one of those Kim and Agie How Awful is Your Life tips.

Thanks again for last night, it was both fun and useful. See this as one of the fruits of your labour.
