By now you guys probably know the travel set up...



The Rex reminded me this morning what happens when you lose focus with a straight in your hand. I was having a great, smooth shave. The first 2/3 of my WTG pass I was thinking of JimmyHAD's signature admonition to keep a light touch on the razor. Then I let my mind wander to work. Next thing I know, I feel this sharp sting at the corner of my jaw just under my lip. I'd stopped moving the razor blade first and instead started a slicing motion. I knew it would be bad when I felt it! So I gave myself a nice inch long slice as a reminder that you can either be in charge, or the razor will take charge for you!

Despite the lesson learned, a DFS!

Here's to the great shaves, and may you all learn from my lesson so that you need not experience it yourselves!
