Oh I've just about had enough of this good old fashioned winter. A week or two of good weahter, I planned to walk the Snow Road today and I can't get there for the snow! There'll be a reason for my HP changing my plans. [Make God laugh, tell Him all your plans eh?]
So what else - I trimmed my beard and had a shave last night and sliced my thumb to the bone - the blade was so sharp I didn't notice until I got in the shower. Ever tried to have a shower when the blood is pouring out your thumb? It was like the aftermath of the shower scene in Pshyco! Managed to get myself sorted and bandaged my thumb.
Sat for an hour feeling sorry for myself, Hey, is that the worst that's going to happen to me today, get over it!

Hey BikerBill, If Al Gore moves to jolly old England, you will not have to worry about any more snow. I am not sure if he can help you with the shaving. What kind of blade were you using?

Being something of a traditionalist I like a wet shave. I have a 1956 Gillette safety razor and use wilkinson sword double edged safety blades when I can get them.
This blade though was a Jewel blade, new old stock from the early 70's (jewel now don't make razor blades, just scalpel blades).
So anyway, I'd just finished a really good haot water shave and as I inscrewed the head of the razor, to clean and dry the blade, at some point I sliced my thumb open with the blade. Really didn't notice until I saw red stuff all over the shower curtain. I looked for ages to find where it was coming from, thought it was my nose, thought it was my neck, thought it was my chin, finally realised that it was always blood on my thumb.
I also use normal, modern razors most of the time but I love a straight razor barber shop shave and I'm trying to work up the trust in myself to use one of my many straight razors myself.

Well, I've spent manya lonely and drunken night in a hotel room, but have never rummaged about in my toilet bag to apply the sharpest tool in there to the most delicate part of my anatomy!
