Alright. I already done blew out the adapter for one of my electric clippers messing around with this 230 volt outlet and I'll be damned if the better of the two clippers suffers the same fate. On the other hand, your boy is running around Germany straight scraggamuffin-style.
I have a converter that supposedly takes between 220 and 240 volts (the outlets here in Germany output 230 volts) and outputs between 100 and 120 volts (what I theoretically need seeing that my clippers take 120 volts). But I bought this same converter when I first came to Germany so I could charge my camera and computer...and blew it out. The good thing was that Saturn (the "Best Buy"-type electronics store where I bought the converter) gave me a refund for the blown adapter, even though I think it might have been my fault because upon further investigation both chargers can take between 100 and 240 volts (i.e. all I really needed was an American-to-German outlet adapter...not a converter). I'm not sure if this had anything to do with why the converter blew out, but I don't want to take that chance again given the possibility it could happen mid-shave. So therein lies the problem.
If I shave with the clippers, I run the risk of not only blowing out the converter and/or clippers, but also sporting a half-done goatee/mustache combo. But using the clippers is the only way I can manually keep my mustache and goatee.
If I go old fashioned and use shaving cream and a razor, I run the risk of breaking out because the razor is unforgiving to ingrown facial hair, of which at this stage I have quite a lot. Furthermore, there's no way I can confidently shape up my goatee and mustache with a razor...so both would have to go, thereby reducing my appearance to that of a 16-year old. On the other hand, this wolf-monster of a mask that's taking over my face will have been taken care of for sure.
If I wait until I get my hair cut (i.e. sometime this weekend), I'll be able to have the barber handle it. But in a foreign country, if dude doesn't do my hair justice, then I can't expect for my facial hair shape-up to be much different. Furthermore, I'm only postponing the inevitable because the problem will no doubt crop up again...only next time before a trip to the barbershop is warranted. And it isn't like the barber is nearby. Supposedly, the only barbers qualified to handle black-people's hair are located around the outskirts of Frankfurt near the American bases (either Hanau or Weisbaden).
Pop quiz hot shot...what would you do?
*waits for Josh to leave some smart comment saying I should do something other than one of the above options*
Cheers.
