    Hope it's not too bad. You shouldn't let your SWMBO sneak up on you. Get well soon!

    I feel you, been there myself. Hope you heal quickly. I usually lock myself in to prevent such things.

    Ouch, that's a real bummer. make sure to let it heal completely and don't let that part in the sun or it'll scar forever.

    The Herskovitz was finished on the vintage Thuri...
    Wow a perfect score! Awesome!!! LOL! Im very surprised the Jnat gave such a crisp edge. Not bad but i was expecting more like the gold seal. Buttery. Very impressed by the Chosera to deliever such a smooth edge.

    Wowww David,
    That Burma sure sounds wonderful.

    Oh Paul,
    Sorry to hear about the mishap brother. I think that wetshavers' wives should be taken aside and be educated about the dangers and nuances of the "surprise factor" during the shave. Otherwise, they will assume that it's all business as usual.
