Great shave morning, starting with Creeper Ruby Red shave Cream, my beautiful new titanium shiny Alpha Brush, using G4, Tatara razor, Creeper Ruby Red aftershave, and D& G Light Blue Forever (pure grapefruit).

*My hand slipped, and with it the razor.
Cost me two parallel slices of chin--the kind
that don't bleed at first . . . then won't stop.
Took several swipes of the alum block to bring
the whole hemorrhagic mess under control.
No chunks missing. Just razor cuts.
