As you can see from my profile picture I have a mo and soul patch.

Yesterday I decided to remove them both, just for the hell of it. Firstly I was so pleased that my Dovo 6/8 made short work of both. I was left with a little irritation but I put that down to multiple passes and sensitive skin that hasn't been shaved for ages.

But today was like going straight back to being a newbie.

I was still shaving like they were there, still in place. Then I was all "fingers and thumbs" and nervous as I shaved my upper lip and the skin next to my lower lip. No cuts but definable a case of go slow and again a bit of irritation. I only made two passes WTG and XTG, Im not game for ATG on my upper lip for sure at the moment.

However I was conscious my diagonal pass ear to nose can include my upper and lower lips….

What fun, and great to remember the trepidation I had in the beginning….
