Not a very good shave today, the shaving gods were not looking on me favourably, Why i am not sure?
Everything was set up for an enjoyable Shave as i had a nice sharp razor at hand, a wonderful lather on the face,
I started my usual routine and everything was going OK, i was completed the first pass on the RH side of my face & neck and then moved onto the top lip, i went to rinse the razor and noticed blood dripping into the water?, i didn't feel anything and could not spot where it was coming from, then a large drop landed on my shoulder, it came from my ear lobe? i can only think that when stretching my baggy face my lobe has moved into the blade, schoolboy error!
Anyway after a lot of pressure, cold water and the age old loo paper patch i managed to stop the flow.
I continued with the shave but my heart was not in it, the ear bled another twice and i had to stop it each time.
so an interrupted 2 pass shave giving me an SAS finish, and a 5-8mm slice down my lobe to boot.
I got quite a bit reaction to the splash, although everything is calm now.
Sitting writing this sporting another loo roll patch ( very fetching) and a bit disappointed with myself.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
