I made one of the funniest errors this morning as I wrap up my first year of traditional shaving. As I was going through my third and final pass I was amazed at how smooth the Tech was performing, it was as if there was no blade at all. As it turns out there wasn't...
To better explain how I could make such a silly mistake I should probably tell the rest of the story (with apologies to Paul Harvey). Over the past three weeks I have been comparing three tech razors against one another. I have a fat-handled gold tech, a pre-war ball-end tech and a Brittish Tech. For today's shave I was using the British Tech for the final time, having already finished up testing with the fat-handle and pre-war Techs I had removed the blades and set them on the side of the sink for cleaning. Prior to making my final ATG pass I grabbed the pre-war Tech by mistake and proceeded to "shave" my both my cheeks. I was absolutely stunned by how smooth the pass was going, thinking immediately about how great the Tabac soap lathered up. As soon as I rinsed the lather off the head I realized my error and had a little chuckle. Luckily I had more then enough lather left in the brush to re-apply and proceed with a slightly more effective third pass using the British Tech. Other than my idiocy the shave went remarkably well giving a nice DFS without any irritation. What's your funny story of the day/week/month?
