  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

AA Day 19! Used my method I described a couple of days ago and ended up with a beautiful BBS shave. Only issue was a spot on my neck where I think I might have some dermatological issues (need to book an appointment with a dermatologist) that caused the slightest of nicks (and I do mean the slightest). I think I'll just have to go WTG constantly on that area.
