I don't know why but it felt like the whiskers were being pulled from my skin. After the first pass I decided to try again. Same thing, heavy pulling on my skin to the point where is hurt a bit. I stopped after two passes and figured the razor needs some attention or I really stropped wrong.
Funny part is I did get a very close shave which does not make sense. I guess this one gets some attention tomorrow.

No Shave Day for me.
