Estrid ‘Facial Blade’
A.I. EXPLAINS:
Razors are weird now. Too many rules. Too much… stuff. Meet Ben. He looks important. But surprise! He’s not Ben. Just a guy they hired to play him. Also, the background? Fake. The suit? Fake. The Swedish countryside? FAKE. The roller skis? Weirdly real. Ben-but-not-Ben talks razors while standing on a moving belt. Squeak. Squeak. A dirt bike flies by. He doesn’t flinch. Then—BAM—he’s in a sauna with ten (very naked) dudes. Then—SPLASH—he’s in an ice bath. Then—ZOOM—he’s in a bathroom, being weirdly proud of a guy shaving. What’s the point? Razors don’t need to be fancy. Just sharp. Just simple. Just lagom—which means just right in Swedish.
