Good news

[lethargic_man]

Good news: the bag I lost in Schönefeld airport has turned up in Lost Property. This means I no longer need to buy a replacement for my camera, books, waistcoat and bow tie... or shaver. OTOH, by the time aviva_m turns up in two and a half weeks to give it back to me, I'm going to be looking pretty hairy. This is going to be the longest I've gone without shaving (my cheeks, if not my chin) since my month-long attempt to grow a beard during the Christmas holidays when I was an undergraduate...

I'm glad you got your bag back - you need to get out of the country more often to make up for the experience ;-)

I've been getting out of the country once every six weeks on average since I started going out with aviva_m a year ago!

Oh, that's great.

Stupid question, but is it worth buying some disposable razors for the meantime?

[lethargic-man.livejournal.com]

No, because Jewish law forbids the application of a razor directly onto the skin.

I totally had no idea that that was a workround for the prohibition on shaving, I assumed you simply didn't keep that particular mitzvah. Cool! Also, I'm very pleased to hear you did in fact get your bag back after all.

Ah, sorry!

I am glad your bag turned up.
I should probably also not use my lady's shaver for my legs and armpits but other alternatives are really painful. When I do not shave around my ankle I don't cut myself. Handshavers for women are very soft that you can't cut yourself easily.
