9 months in and I've never cut myself "decently" twice in one shave - until today.
Not only did I nick my mole on my upper lip but because I flinched I then dragged the edge across my nostril and opened it up quite nicely. A couple of minutes of styptic "love" finally staunched the wounds.
Long story short? A momentary lapse of concentration cost me 20 minutes on top of my standard shave time but stuck me square into peak hour traffic which I like to avoid.
Must. Pay. Attention.

Ouch.
I lost concentration a few days ago and cut that little part of the ear next to the sideburn. It wasn't very big, but that thing bled like crazy.I keep the Veg in Vegetal.

I had just loaded a new Feather. And no distractions as SWMBO is away on biz so had the the whole bathroom to myself so only me to blame.

Easily done and something we can all recognise. It only goes to focus the mind for the next shave.
