In Which I Consider Shaving My Eyebrows
(For about 0.7 seconds)
So I’m getting these bumps in my eyebrows. Last night as I was washing my face, one of them started to bleed. What’s going on? I wondered. I thought maybe if I could get rid of that hair I’d be able to get a better look. But then I realised aside from looking like a total freak with no eyebrows, the razor would catch the bumps and then all of them would bleed.
Right now my predominant theory is that when washing my face, the extra surface area created by the hairs on my eyebrows has contributed to improper rinsing in that area, and the remaining soap has caused skin irritation. I also considered that it might be bedbugs or mosquitoes. But I wouldn’t know a bed bug if it came up and bit me (clearly). And why would a bedbug (or any bug for that matter) choose my eyebrows? So I’m sticking to my soap theory.
