So there I was...my trusty Dovo Bismarck in hand, happily shaving away. I don't know when it happened...it was too light for me to even realize I had done it.

You see, at some point during cleanup, I put a nick in my blade. I didn't realize it at first, that would have been too easy. No, instead it was revealed to me when I walked over to my SRD Premium II strop and promptly scratched the bejesus out of it.

Sensibly (), I spent lots of money trying to figure out which shaving cream/soap/aftershave I liked best instead of purchasing a backup razor. Naturally, it's a holiday weekend so nothing can be shipped anywhere until Tuesday. Perfectly, I held off on getting any kind of hones because I *knew* I wouldn't be needing one for months as my razor was brand new.

I love it when a plan comes together. All that careful shopping around to find a razor I liked, all those fancy creams and aftershaves.

One week of straight shaving. ONE WEEK.

*sigh*

I'm better now. I just couldn't think of anyone else who would really understand the misery of it all.

My beacon in the dark is Lynn at SRD. I emailed him about it all and I can get my razor fixed and shipped back to me with the backup razor I'll be ordering to save on shipping costs. Great customer service goes a long way in mending the hurt.

Someone wake me up when it's Tuesday.
