OK, I'm posting this in the noob section because today I took a giant step backwards, making fundamental errors.

What can I say? You 'Commandoes of Rich' just chip away until a decently clothed man feels a need to experiment. So I shaved commando....

in the bath.

Oh boy, was THAT ever a mistake. I finish my Wednesday night football game (soccer to those who are used to using football to describe a game primarily using the hands) and decide to shave whilst in the bath. You know, pores would open wiiiiiide, water everywhere to rinse, take my time, yadda yadda yadda.

Why didn't you warn me?! Sure, it seems so obvious NOW. Now that I have a cut on my chin, one on my top lip, and a big bleeder on my little pinky (damn those Lynn-honed supersharp razors!).

Razor burn everywhere. No grip whatsoever so skin stretching was impossible. Sweat pouring from my brow into my eyes as I tried desperately (and failed) to concentrate.

Seriously, that was a very big lesson learned. I will never shave in the bath, shower, sauna, pool, river, ocean, whatever.

Right, I'm off to sulk for a couple of days. See you guys later. Hmmmmph.

Attention anyone who has yet to learn this: DO NOT SHAVE IN THE BATH!!! (This was a public service announcement.)
