I didn't have time for a straight shave today, but I really needed a shave so I picked up my Slim dialed it up all the way to the top and went to work. 3 quick passes and a perfect BBS shave. It cost me some irritation on my neck, but the russian magic cream took care of the worst of it.

All in all a nice shave.

My wife still has the Anne Geddes book on the table, so I could not resist putting it back in the photo background. Mitchell and Taylor are twins (5 weeks). Mitchell (left) was snoring at the time. The boots were made especially for the photo.
