Shaved my cheeks with a straight again. This time it wasn't as comfortable as the first time last week. I'm going to try to strop it before my next shave.

After talking to SWMBO, I changed from a full beard to a goatee, and shaved my head. I have worn a full beard for 34 years, there are parts of my face that have not seen daylight or a razor in a good long time. I am particularly proud of no nicks on the head.
