None of you have mentioned the other part of the first shave that I experienced.
Yes, my hands shook too, but the thing that I remember even more was the extreme pounding of the arteries in my neck. If I recall correctly, they were bulging out about two and a half inches and were in extreme peril of being sliced wide open. I really didn't think that the sink was big enough to hold all of the blood that was about to spew.
