Shave #252.4 - Toying With My Face

Just a quick shave of the cheeks and neck. Just playing around with the shape of my stubble.

QCS Shave Soap + Palmolive Shave Cream

Quick and easy shave. There's nothing SAS about it.

This journal will be on hiatus for awhile as I grow out my beard. I'm not sure how long that will last as it looks crappy and feels the same, but while I'm working on my follicles it doesn't seem worthwhile to post my shaves, which amount to nothing more than a quick neck swipe.

My razor instantly dulled in my left hand, and snapped back to life in the right. My hand shook, more than usual. The left side of my face looked like a dog with the mange.

Any of you have similar problems? Any tips?

Yeah, but with practice you will become equally proficient with either hand. It's a great advantage.
