Yep I’ve gone electric too, the petrol ones are a bugger to start.

Tried to give dad a shave yesterday with his electric shaver. He got grumpy part way through, and now it looks worse. he refuses help from the carers. Will try and get him to a barber. He he looking very bedraggled . He has never had a beard before.

When Dear Ol’ Dad was in the aged care place, he told me he couldn’t stand having to shave with an electric razor, so could I bring him a couple of disposable ones next time I visited? Checked with the staff after, and they told me that – for any number of safety reasons – disposables were not permitted.

I thought what the heck, at his age and condition, if he wants a disposable razor, get him one. So I bought a couple and took them in with me next time I visited. Told him they were apparently not allowed, so where should I put them? He indicated the cupboard behind the mirror in the ensuite bathroom. I swung the mirror door open, and about two dozen still-sealed-in-their-packaging disposable razors fell out.

He’s been hoarding them for when the apocalypse arrives?
