Razor Ramblings - Special Edition

After shaving myself for the first time in approximately 5 months, I noticed that I had apparently become a tad rusty (mind the pun). It made me realize that the work of a straight-edge by some lunatic in India is second-to-none. I cringe at the thought of never having that same quality again. Had I been able to foreseen the job I did on myself, I would've given every shave artist a perfect rating.

Location: My bathroom
Number of Nicks: None
Rating: -1/5

The only benefit of the MACH 3 shaving system is that you rarely get cut or nicked. So much for the commercials - with such claims as "The closest shave ever." Well, that's the tool I brought out for the innaugaral shave of 2006.

Having only lived in my current domecile for a day, I hadn't the time to go out and get proper lather. Luckily, soap is a solid substitute. I'll skip past the shaving part, simply saying that it felt weird to drag a razor across my face (albeit less painful).

When I was done, I did the usual inspection only to find out that the razor did a terrible job. What was that cliche, a poor worker blames his tools? Either way, I was embarrassed with my work and contemplated doing it all over again.

I wonder how much it would cost to bring over a professional bladesman from India....
