This has been a personally tragic week but I'm still going so I am still posting.
Before I get started on the razor review, I just want to send out a prayer to the powers that be that V isn't making too clear memories. Yesterday we had to euthanize the cat we took in after my grandmother died in July, and V was in the room while OC died. I had one hand on OC, and was rocking V's Kick & Play chair with the other. Not a situation I recommend anyone go through.
Today after we buried OC, I got my Weishi double edged safety razor with 25 blades in the mail. I very much appreciated that the seller did not use much packaging at all to mail everything and the blades themselves have minimal packaging. The razor was in a plastic travel/storage case with mirror and one wrapped blade. Nice and simple. Some people sell the razor with a fabric travel bag, so if you are plastic free, look for them.
After V went down for her afternoon nap, I treated myself to a very non-eco long hot bath. I really needed some "me" time and that was what my spirit needed at the time. Since I was soaking in hot water I decided to try the razor. I don't have true shaving soap yet, but I did get my brush and soap mug which I put a sliver of Jasmine soap into and used that to lather up.
The razor was very easy to use. Inserting the blade is a breeze with little risk of ever cutting myself. The razor has a nice weight without being too heavy. I was able to shave almost as quickly as with a cartridge razor and with almost the same results. I have several brands of blades to try before I make my final decision on which blade to use, but in the mean time, I am perfectly happy with this choice. And even though I was sitting in the bathtub with my foot up on the side of the tub, I didn't nick myself at all.
No parent is perfect however why would you even consider having Veronica in the same room with you when you put any animal to sleep? If this is such a concern about lasting memories, why would you have her there to begin with?
ReplyDeleteI didn't have her there to begin with. She was in the living room in her kick & play. Then she was screaming her head off because she wanted me. In the end she was in her kick & play on the floor, and OC was on the bed, I was perched at the foot of the bed with one had rocking Veronica's chair and one arm around OC. She couldn't see anything other than Mommy crying. I didn't want her there. But she was more content in the room than without me.
