Yeppers, I've been bleeding for this hobby. I just don't photograph all my nicks and cuts for the "cut of the day" thread. So now I get to show up at work with a Scooby Doo band-aid on my finger and unpolished boots (ankle cut work boots, they're more comfortable than dress shoes and look just as good when polished).
Nope, shall not stray again - at least, not until the next time.
Obviously didn't have my eyes open yet for this mornings shave pic :)

Comments :
Day one of a week-long "Get to know the MWF" sesh, and the damn stuff behaves as expected. No thin and watery bubbles, just meringue-thick lather. Typical. There's another four days to go though, so anything can happen... and it probably will too.
Did someone mention a "supermoon"? It's hard to believe I was the only loony on the windy beach, trying hard to get any perspective on this phenomena.

I don't usually shave everyday, but during a rare few hours of boredom I decided to have a multiple stropping session with some of my razors, well after stropping the big bad ass Filly I just couldn't resist, so the Filly and I set off hand in hand for the bathroom, well what can I say this razor is without doubt not only a looker but my God does she shave superbly, I rarely hold or place any items or objects I own into a bracket of being to precious to use or even sell, but this is one razor that I would never sell or part company with.
