Sorry if this has been done before,
Can any of you recall, prior to wet shaving, what your most horrific shaving experience was? To this day I can remember mine.
I was on a business trip to Hartford, Connecticut in November 2000. In Hawaii we have two seasons, wet and dry, so your blood gets a little thinner and the cold really starts to suck(actually I lived in Michigan and New York when I was a kid, I'm just a big wuss after 17 years here).
Well, I was at the Hartford Hilton and noticed my beard was getting scruffy. So I went for my Mach3 (again, pre wet shaving days) and wouldn't you know it, I forgot to pack my toiletries. I tried to live with not shaving but after the fourth day I couldn't take it any more so I called the front desk. They sent up a ketchup packet of something resembling shaving cream and a white disposable single blade razor thing It was either itch and look like Chubaka or attempt to shave with these things. So I shaved, or what passed as me trying to shave. Well I don't exactly know what happened, but the next thing I knew, it looked like someone had cut my throat from my right ear down to my adams apple. I had some how irritated my neck to point of shave bumps and then shaved off the shave bumps leaving a trail of blood on my neck. I had never seen this much blood coming from my neck, I grabbed a cold towel and held to my neck until the bleeding stopped. Upon closed inspection I could see that the poor little razor bumps had all been scalped by that evil thing pretending to be a razor. Moral of the story, don't forget your toiletries, if you forget your toiletries, don't be too cheap to spend a couple of bucks for a decent Bic Metal or even a Mach3 in a pinch.
Again, sorry if you have all shared you stories before, I couldn't find them. I'm really curious about the experieces of the shave gurus in this forum.
Saludos
