Okay. So it was Prom night and I was just about to shave. Had my J.A. Henckels and then a thought hit me. What if I mess up bad this time. I have the bad luck at messing up at the most important times and with a razor that could be deadly. So I decided to retry the "old" Gillette Fusion to be on the safe side.

And it was terrible.

I had rash, bumps, pain, more nicks than I ever had with a straight razor, and irritation. The Nivea After-shave Balm didn't do anything it does when it's just a straight shave. Smooth but red and bumpy. My parents, that were pleased to hear me shave "normally" for once were shocked to see what their method of shaving had done in contrast with my method of shaving. I felt like I had inadvertently proved a point. So I went to prom with an irritated, bumpy face. Thank God I didn't have enough money for pictures. Also, to my disappointment, I ordered a tophat with super-fast shipping for prom only it wasn't fast enough. So that sucks

Never again will I shave with a modern razor. I'll do the Henckels shave tonight.

Has this ever happened to you?
