Great shave this morning but as I was picking up the Helje from the photo setup, I wasn't paying attention and the blade dropped on my finger and opened up a lovely 1/4 inch slit. After several battle dressings, styptic pencil, cold water rinses, tourniquet, EMS techs, mercy flights and .....(well just a band-aid really) I finally got it stopped from bleeding. http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...es/biggrin.gif
Hope you all had a great shave today without all the trama! http://www.theshaveden.com/forum/ima...es/lyrtuy5.gif
