Week 2
Feb. 8
So, the beginning of a new week. After doggedly pursuing a routine that I disliked, I'm soul-shaving this week--do what feels right. The only parameters is nothing more than 3 passes. I got lazy and used a random order generator rather than cut up slips of paper and draw from a mug (which always feel more exciting for some reason). The results...

The Shave
The shave started out pretty well. 1st pass (WTG) seemed to go okay. Another slight snag at the left corner of my mouth, but after waiting several seconds, no blood... shave on! Cold water rinse reveals a sting at the aforementioned corner of the mouth. Look more closely, and... still no blood. Time for pass 2...
Pass 2 (XTG) starts well. I start on my left cheek and nearly finish when I see that the left corner of my mouth is, indeed, weeping--crud! Shave over. I believe I almost cut this exact same area the last time I used the MMOC. Hmmmm. As I start to do the rinse of shame, I now notice a small weeper on the underside of my chin, also from the 1st pass.
In retrospect, I'm still shaving a little too quickly, though I'm keeping the pressure light, so that's a plus. I'm pretty rough everywhere except for the left cheek which I'd call DFS. No irritation anywhere, so that's a plus, I suppose.
Tomorrow
Next up in the rotation is the 1912, who is going to have her work cut out for her; I'm going to be pretty scruffy tomorrow morning
