Hirsuit Pursuit

That's what l'agneau orange calls her attraction to the hairy Heroes that she likes - Dr Mohinder, for one, and Isaac Mendez, for another. Well, we'll leave her to her hairy men then.

Our issue lies a little closer to home.

We dropped by home in the afternoon and noticed in the mirror that our morning shave didn't seem to do anything - because our face looked as if we didn't clear away the nuclear-blasted mutated wilderness that it was. And we knows we did shave in the morning.

How is it that, by not even half the day, the facial hair has grown out of control? And we don't get that 5 o'clock shadow kind of look, rather, the 1 o'clock nuclear jungle more likely.

Probably because we didn't shave as how Kyan would have instructed. Terrible prep, no lather, the blade bit ada, the technique's rushed, and no after party. To the uninitiated, it just means we splash cold water and drag the blade in a few quick swipes (rinsing the blade in between swipes of course). We've stopped shaving against the grain a long time ago (although the results actually looked better). And we don't tszuj.

Probably we were asking for it after all - a few miserable hacks with a sickle when we should slowly work our way methodically with the lawnmower? What were we thinking? We were thinking - that extra time can be put to better use, like sleeping a little while longer.

In the end we just couldn't tahan the face looking as it was and subjected ourselves to another, more proper shave. Broke out the 3-year-old Nivea shaving gel (which is still some three-quarters full after all this time), lathered up and took our time. Results? Looks slightly better, but only slightly. Only, we've to avoid that bit where there seems to be a pimple hiding among the follicles.

Decisions decisions decisions...to Oxify the spot and bleach the hair, or to slice through the whole thing and cause some blodshed? There is no way we shall leave it to grow - lad's experiment at leaving the facial hair unmolested scared us badly when we saw his MSN pic yonks back.

Oh, that we didn't have to shave every day!

Actually unshaven men look extremely hawt. Maybe you should try that look - maybe it looks bad in the earlier days, but it should be super hawt hawt hawt now. :D

Sam: It's the ugly phase while achieving that look (which we don't know if it'll work for us) that's scary. And not suitable for work.

Savante: You too!?

Jason: Find someone real then. :)

William: Lucky you! Hmm and according to Adrien you is pak zham kai?

Ah-Bong: No. Just the genes.

Ryan: Yar. Not gonna take time to groom for a goatee.

Adrien: Sore throat means husky voice la, not deep voice. Wonder what your definition of macho alpha male is.
