It didn't take me long at all to remember that the R41 is not a quick DE to use. Less than 30 seconds into the shave my face looked like I'd been fending off Kirstie Alley from the last Krispy Kreme in town. But I pushed through for a two pass that, unfortunately, left my face beyond BBS in more than a few places. The blood has stopped, though, and I'm off to my deposition. Do you think anyone will notice the cuts???

Not only will they notice it, the witness and their attorney will be appropriately fearful and reminded that you wield sharp objects when most others are sleeping. If the depo is videotaped and the witness is visibly horrified, you'll be able to refer back to it as the day that ______ (insert metaphor here; e.g., you cut their case down, or shaved off their damages sought, etc.).

Good morning y'all, and happy Friday! Seeing some of y'all's photos has created pic envy. I need to figure out a light box design...
