Crap lather this morning led to a less than comfortable shave. Don't know why I didn't start again with the lather. Smooth enough, but a bit sore.

Grumble, grumble, ruddy face-off shave today. Necks lit up like a fuffin' beacon and feels like its been scrubbed with a wire brush and dettol!

Morale of the story: don't go for a quickie shave with a #77 when you're in a rush.

Grumble, groan, moan, swear, rant, moan, groan, grumble........
