Razors
I bought thirty Poundland razors for--guess how much?--that's right, a pound. Bugger those expensive ones. Seriously, what difference can there be between a razor that costs three pence, and one of those fancy ones where the replacement blades cost a king's ransom?

A lot, it turns out.

They had no lubrication strip, and one blade. Gent's ones in black, ladies' in pink. Obviously I went for the ladies' one.

I then made possibly the biggest mistake of my life. I decided to shave my minge with one of my remarkably cheap purchases. Perhaps this would be a good answer for last week's QOTW, because one should never shave one's minge with a Poundland razor. One will be left with a horrific red rash and, bizarrely, most of the hair still remaining.

Did I learn my lesson? Of course not, I'd spent a hard-earned pound on thirty of the fuckers. It was like a game of Russian Roulette. Some were sharp, some were rather like shaving with a spoon. My legs now look like those of a miserable goth because of the number of Poundland-induced wounds.

Purely because you managed to refer to yourself in the third person while using the words minge and Poundland.
Pure class.

"I decided to shave my minge with one of my remarkably cheap purchases"
For a moment there I had a flashback to that scene in The Piano Teacher.


Y'know... that scene.

for the use of "miserable goth" in such an appropriate context!

But... Why did you carry on with the task in hand once the first stroke had gone so badly?

oh dear lord no!
You poor thing! Surely one should never shave one's minge, poundland razors or no.
Waxing, if one must!

*shudders at the thought of itchiness*

I've used them on my face
It would have been less painful and more effective to use tweezers.

Just like TheWeeWitch...
...I loved the phrase "miserable goth" in that context. My keyboard doesn't though. It now has half a mouth's worth of tea sloshing about in it. Bugger it, I needed a new one anyway.

This is the best
Finally someone else who uses the word "minge"

I brought lidl razors once.
I swear the extra blade and lubestrip were just for ornamental value.

not sure about poundland
but the cheap boots / bic brand razors were quite fine for head shaving.

Why....
Would you shave your minge - are you a porn star or summat.

^ What they said
Please don't shave your ladygarden. What if your hand slipped? Besides, you are ALWAYS left with stubble eventually.

Find a good salon which will torture you with wax for a nominal fee, instead. Much nicer.

or
leave is as nature intended for the 70's blart look.

I suggest you watch Life of Brian or (even better) Blood on Satan's Claw for examples.
