Friends to the End is so great.

Shave #2 today because this morning’s straight razor adventure wasn’t good enough, and I’m on call this afternoon. Normally I’d wait and only shave again if I get called in, but we plan on being out and about this afternoon so I have to be ready to go.

My skin was certainly tender, but I was able to be ginger enough to not cause any more damage – and man what a close shave. I do love this razor.
