I posted my best shave in the "Shave of the Day" on Nov 3 2011.
It was a crappy phone pic taken of my only razor at the time, my Dovo Bismarck on top of my shaving bowl that I bought while I was away.
I had only been shaving for a few months with a straight and I was still working out the kinks.
I had worked the best 17 hour day of my life that day, trying to get our aircraft serviceable in order to make a return voyage home from my 6 month tour in Sicily. Needless to say I was tired, and obviously pretty excited.
We had to spend the night in St. Johns NFLD, we were put up in a nice inn overlooking the famous George Street. I was too tired to go celebrate. so I hunkered down for a nice pre-slumber shave.
I used the only soap that I owned at the time, a tube of Proraso. No pre-shave, just a hot water rinse of my face.
All I could think about was meeting my little girls on the tarmac back at home, and I obviously got distracted and cut myself.
Never the less, it was the first time in a long time that I had been by myself. It was one of those extremely surreal and 'aware' moments of my life. Giving me time to reflect, appreciate and embrace my situation.
BEST SHAVE EVER.Through the mud and the blood, to the green fields beyond.
