15 minutes my ass!

That's how much charge my electronic razor said it had in it when I powered it up during the drive into work today as part of my thrice weekly shaving routine.  It's my lame ass attempt to multi-task while stuck in traffic on the interstate during my 45 minute commute into the office.  However, after about a minute or two, and a quarter of a shaven face - BOOM ... completely dead.  Nothing on the screen, no blinking "charge it dumbass" icon, completely blank.  First thing that goes through the mind is "Oh great...now I need to turn around to get the charging cord."  But then as I'm approaching the next exit to turn around at, it dawns on me - this isn't a dead battery...this is a dead razor.  The thing is several years old, so it's not surprising, but still not something you plan for.  So, after that epiphany, the mindset goes to "Oh FUCK...now what!?!"

Wal-Mart to the rescue!  Fortunately there's a 24-hr store right on the way, so a quick 5 minute stop in and all is right in the world.  Well, that is once I finish hiding in my office with my half-shaven face until I get enough charge to finish the job.

I cannot shave w/ the electric - burns and pulls like hell. I use an old fashioned straight razor and also the disposable Mach3. Blades. Yeh, baby, yeh.

Electric all the way!! I hate it when that happens though. You're praying that the minimal charge that it does have will at least get most of it.
