Razorantium and Adamantium
Oct. 1st, 2005 06:06 pmFollowing the advice of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fallenpegasus and finding myself in Bellevue the other day, I stopped by the new Lush outlet and pick up some Razorantium. The stuff was pricey, $17.95 for an 8 oz. tub, but that's not the most insane price I've ever paid for a three-month shaving cream supply (that would be Zhir, at $38 if buying both the pre-shave oil and the shave soap).
I tried it out this evening and discovered that it is worth absolutely every penny. I put on a thin layer, waited only a minute, and then shaved with my Merkur single-blade razor. I was supposed to wait three. It didn't seem to matter. The blade moved smoothly through the hairs with only one pass. I had to be careful; Razorantium is thick and clogs up the razor very quickly, unlike Burma-Shave glycerin soaps.
There was no razor burn afterward. I was completely stunned. I always have razor burn, but not this time. My face was smooth and soothed and did not hurt. I think I'll be buying more of this stuff in the future.
In an unrelated issue, I stopped by Wonderworld Comics to pick up a Kimba the White Lion video for the girls to watch, and while I was there I thumbed through the Wolverine comic (now in its 33rd issue). When did that happen? Even more boggling, Sebastian Shaw (former leader of the Hellfire Club and lover of Emma Frost, part of the League of Mutants, a sublegal group dedicated to taking over the world) is now in charge of SHEILD (WTF!?!?) and Mystique works for him (WTF!?!?2).
Damn. Another universe has completely slipped me by.
