oh goody, it put it there by itself!
Cool video!
I especially like the change of scenery at the start. I've been meaning to make yet another shaving video that's a little more unconventional. How bad was your nick?
Nice intro in the video. :)
Some thoughts:
Learn to use the razor with both hands. Learn to stretch the skin more effectively. Loose the toilet paper and get a styptic pencil. It's really hard to tell from a video but your lather looked like it was pretty thin.
If you haven't watched these, it might help.

Looks like you did well for your first go around. :) Good luck with your next shaves.
My only comment is that you seemed to be going pretty fast. If I rushed that much, I'd be using a lot more than one small piece of toilet paper. But then, I assume you sped up the video. Other than that, I'd have to say, if the shave was smooth, you don't need much from us. Good job!
By the way, I loved the balloon.
Bravo! Good job. You obviously have a fairly steady hand. I like the way you simply jump in and give it a try. I think you should provide us with an encore performance once you have gained a little more experience!
love the video! thanks 4 posting!
Very cool video. Very cool. I even like the background music. What's the straight? Looks like a 6/8 hollow ground round point. Nice video/
very awesome video
