An unwritten law?
I'm certain there must be some unwritten law stating that a person can shave with carefree abandon and a BBS shave is the result when there is nothing special going on. HOWEVER, should there be a time when you really want the best and smoothest shave possible, a bloody butcher job is usually the result. Should that law be placed in the Wiki? All this firmly tongue-in-cheek, of course, but doesn't it seem like it is nearly inevitable, like back in high school and zits just before the big date?

+1 I concentrate and concentrate. And usually end up with a nick or two. If I put it into autopilot, pretty smooth.

Kind of like when I first started doing ironwork and had to learn to walk the I-beams. I was nervous as a whore in church and would look straight down at my feet as I took a step. An old timer told me to look 6 to 8 feet ahead of where my feet were, He said,"Your feet will take care of themselves". and sure enough they did. I got so good at it that they nicknamed me "Cat" because of the way I got around on the iron...... and no.... it wasn't on all fours. Originally Posted by singlewedge

Thats funny. A mental image of Jimmy clinging to an I-Beam 80 stories up, shaking like a Chihuahua. Originally Posted by JimmyHAD

As a person in the legal field the first thing I noticed was there is no safety equipment and the second thing I noticed was a lack of ink.
Hats off man. Now back to the thread.
