Why is it that every time I shave…

I seem to miss somewhere on my neck that I find later on in the day, when it is most inconvenient to do so. It’s not like I shave in the dark, or quickly for that matter. And it never seems to be the same place twice. I am absolutely baffled by this persistent experience of hysterical blindness when examining my skin for hair follicles. Doesn’t seem to matter if I use a straight razor, or electric, wet, dry, doesn’t matter. I always seem to miss something, and it irritates me to no end. I’ll have to resort to putting a pen lined grid on my face & neck to make sure I clear every block before moving on. I also need to rinse in between because a blocked razor might pass over the hair and not cut it, which I think is the culprit here. But I could very well be wrong about that. I’d have to tape myself shaving and look to see what I’ve done wrong, and find out how I always seem to miss a different patch on my person each time.

In other news, it’s a beautiful day here in southern Ontario. Had some rain the other day, which was welcome. Farm instruments say we got about an inch of rain. Which is good for this week, but does little to alleviate the lack of rain last week, and what about next week? Need an inch or so every four to five days for things to be optimal. Or so I’m told.
