" i bought a new pen knife today, I use that. I used to use pencil sharpener blades, but I guess I wanted something easier to hold.

Or I nick to blades out of my stepmums blade nox(shes a hairdresser so she has a box full of replacement blades for her clippers)

i cut words and pictures, not too dseep, if I do it deeper, I do less cuts, if I do it softer I do more cuts.

Ususally I dont do less than 7 (only time I ever do do less than 7 cuts is when someone interrupts me) "
