Tonight was "Dad's Night" at my daughter's high school.
One of the "things" is that Dad is supposed to waltz with
his daughter. My wife made our daughter a beautiful new
dress, we'd been practicing our dance moves, and Dad
was supposed to be looking his best...which, of course,
included a perfect shave.

Well, truth to tell, the sought-after BBS shave simply
eluded me....I just didn't get there.

I shaved in the usual way, but I didn't like the result.
So, I shaved again. I still didn't like it. And again,
and again....

After 4 shaves, I quit. I quit because it was starting to
hurt, and there was no real improvement. "If it hurts
to do that, then don't do that!"

I dunno what the problem was, but it was more than
likely my stropping/shaving technique, and the "need"
to get a "perfect" shave.

I'm not looking for advise. I just want to say, that in
my experience, sometimes it just doesn't happen, and
if you push too hard, you're gonna hurt yourself.

Tomorrow is another day....

Cheers,
Paul
