[QUOTE=sashimi;1121395]Wednesday evening - The "oops" shave
Hot water prep
Wade & Butcher FBU spike point razor - Silvertip badger brush - TOBS Sandalwood sc - cold water splash - T&H 1805 asb - Hot towel - LaLique white EdT

I call this the "oops" shave because of a freak incident. I had just touched up the W&B on the Thuri and was about to take off the tape on the spine, when the razor sort of slipped from my hands and made carpaccio of my thumb. A whole slice taken off. i was caught by surprise and started bleeding like a pig. Went downstairs, got bandage, taped it up, put a thumb of a rubber glove over it and continued my journey. "Big boys don't cry" was the motto here. Finished the shave to the tunes of Art Blakey and the Messengers and feel relaxed. Now let me go change my bandage...

OUCH!! I don't know if it makes you feel better, but one of the reasons I didn't post a pic yesterday was because I was taking care of my own finger mishaps. Yes, plural.

Hang in there amigo!

Ta. Only minus 8? That all? Here in winter sometimes it hits zero at night but rarely gets colder than that.

Oh my goodness gracious, I was having breakfast!!!

Yeah, I had my doubts posting that pic, but I figured it would be a good lesson for those that think razors aren't sharp and stuff...
Well, turns out, mine are... just that, sharp...

Oh yeah, by the time March rolls around, -8 feels downright balmy. And although we have relatively mild winters here in Ottawa, as a prairie boy, I know cold. And -8 ain't cold.
