I went to meet with a friend for lunch today. He wasn't aware the I had started to shave with a straight. He thought I had gotten into a fight with a cat or something, as I have quite a few little nicks here and there and.... everywhere. Anyway, to chronicle my shaving wounds I have taken some pictures of my ugly mug in hopes that you gentleman may get a kick out of it. Oh and yes, my friend thought I was crazy for trying to learn with a straight, most of my friends do. Anyway, onto the pictures


Here I am with a goofy smirk on my face. I never know how to smile.
As you can see I still have some zits which do get in the way.
There are several cuts around the chin area.



Close up of the chin and an even scarier shot of my face.



Underneath the chin. Everything you see there was done during my
first shave. I am hoping they all heal up and go away soon, as they
do get in the way a bit.



And finally, the cou'de gra the nice gouge I took out of my left cheek.
The picture is a bit fuzzy, and it has also healed up quite well. Surprisingly
it doesn't give me any trouble while shaving.



There you have it, my war wounds. Nothing major yet, though those
cuts under my chin do give me some trouble. And yes, the hair does get in the way a little while I shave. Damn hippies!
