Fair warning - watching this is literally painful

[stypulkoski]

So Roger Ebert just posted on Twitter a link to this video of film critic David Poland giving a review of the new Iron Man film while shaving. I had no idea there were people actually doing this to themselves! I had better shaving habits when I started shaving at fourteen than this guy does now.

I recommend everyone watch this just as a reminder of how lucky we are to know how to shave properly. But be warned - your face will ache in sympathy!

I couldn't watch the whole thing; it was too painful...

He's tougher than I.

That's not how I learnt to shave from this forum!!

I never knew you could shave off a beard with a cartridge razor... ouch

 

[Kevan]

Is that a Mach 3/Fusion Power? And what the hell is he even doing? Pulling that hair forcibly off his face with no lather to speak of, and you can see his skin get inflamed as you watch it.

 

[rickboone1]

He shaved between his eyebrows. Once. Hence, the scar. He kind of looks like Iron Man. Only bigger. Commentary is zzzzzzzz

Good God man,,,,,, learn how to shave!

 

[Celticking]

must have skin like sandpaper

 

[chfair]

Yeah, he also gets to his chin at one point and you can actually see the razor bounce, skip and then drag... I must pluck my eyes out

At first I was thinking "well, if it works for him ..." but couldn't stand watching so skipped out to the and and learned that it actually *didn't* work for him!

 

[bcalvary]

I only wished my skin was that tuff. If I did this I would be in the hospital awaiting a face transplant.

 

[jsrdrnr]

OMG...I am a chic and my face hurt watching that!!!

DH just showed me this video, and even though I don't shave my face, that part where he got his chin had me gasping for air. Oh, my...

 

[citizensoldierny]

Guess he spent too much on blades and has to carefully ration the shaving cream???

 

[pal]

I couldn't watch either.

 

[JPM]

That was truly painful!

Yeah ... that goatee he was shooting for looked pretty lopsided. Doesn't look like he took much beard off from the left side of his face (left as viewed in the mirror.)

I couldn't follow what he was blabbering about regarding the movie ... I was too nauseated watching him commit whisker-cide on that abomination he calls a beard.

Apparently, this is his Standard Operating Procedure with shaving. His beard didn't look so hot to begin with. And it just got worse and worse over the next six minutes.

And why is he giving a movie review while shaving? If he wants an IronMan goatee, why not get that done first, and then give the review while sitting in a lounge chair or behind a desk?

Its like if someone were to give a critique of the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" while they film themselves making pancakes. The two just don't go together.
