Shandong Fast Tale Shaving 《刮胡子》

Eric Shepherd (谢博德) performs Shandong fast tale Shaving (刮胡子) for Qingdao Television, 7/15/2011.

Comrade Ma is shaving when a fly lands on his nose. He tries to get the fly to leave by moving his face but it won't leave so he tries to kill it with his straight razor. He misses and cuts off his nose. It hurts so bad he drops the straight razor but he happens to be wearing flip flops so ends up cutting off his toe. He reaches down, picks it up and places it on his nose. He bandages it up, lets it heal, and removes the bandages only to find that he has to trim his toenails on his nose.
