After fits and starts, I've been shaving with a straight razor exclusively for only about 2 weeks now.

Wednesday morning I had surgery on my back to remove a bulging disc.

What does one have to do with the other?

Today I was given the green light to shower by the surgeon. So, of course I wanted to shave as well and guess what? I can't lift both arms to stretch my skin and shave with my C-Mon.

I had to use my Merkur HD safety razor to shave and I have to tell you... even with the searing pain my back... right now I'm missing that shave more than anything.

So with that in mind, why aren't blades regulated to carry an alert or some sort.

Warning: The APA as determined repeated use of this razor will lead to Obsessive Shaving Disorder and serious R.A.D. For more information please consult Straight Razor Place

Nobody told me how much I would come to depend on a good straight shave to get my day going in the right direction.

Jeeze, thanks for the heads up guys.
