I got that great shave on my 68th birthday this past Wednesday; SPNN (Styptic Pencil Not Needed). Well, today I'm older by several days, but unfortunately, no wiser. I was looking for a better angle on my neck, when my evil twin Nick grabbed the razor and put a nice slice right where I had been looking. Gratefully, I had a half a pencil handy. I used that one up and grabbed for the other half. And then another. No wait! If it was really all that bad, I'd still be unconscious. I haven't seen that much blood since the last time I was at the blood bank. Did I mention that I still wound up with a very nice, close and comfortable shave? Well ... I did. And even more looking forward to my next lesson on SR shaving. By the way ... appreciate all the feedback I've gotten. As well as the good help and encouragement you senior guys give to the other newbies. Keep your faces wet and your blades sharp!
