Anyone who reads this thing knows that we are not big spenders. I can be incredibly cheap and later have regrets, but we’re also frugal. For instance, I spend the big money on Smartwool socks, but they last For-Ev-Er. The cost per wear is pennies. Maybe ha’pennies.
The current problem, though, is that Lloyd has developed some sort of sock vanity. “My socks are pilling,” he whined said. “I want one of those things that shaves sweaters.”
Good grief. 1) Nobody is looking at his socks, and 2) he knows how Amazon works.
I later realized that this was a hint to buy a present for him. That is, I think it was. I don’t pick up on hints and I’m really bad at presents. Anyway, I went to Amazon and found the second-cheapest shaver they had. Battery operated or USB and it came with two extra blades.
Now, in the cool of the evening, Lloyd shaves the pair of socks he’s wearing and I don’t make fun of him at all.
Huh. They do look better. Can you tell the finished one? (Different night from the first photo.)
GREAT post title, Lauren!
I didn’t know you could shave your socks. How long would it take to shave one’s head with that thing?
I own a couple clothes shavers. I like them very much.
