So, I really wanted to try out my new razor again, so I decided to shave with only one day of rest instead of two. That was a mistake. I've solidified that I need two days of no shaving before I can do a full shave, yet I keep tempting fate. All things considered, it was a fine shave. I'll just have to way 3 days before getting to evaluate the aggressive Henson again.

At least I had the day off since the power was out at my office.
