Result: 2.8/5.0 Must of have been an omen for the Patriots losing yesterday. The Ninja Shave got me on the bottom of my right neck hollow with 2 weepers and a nick. I really need to stay away from that combination. I don't need to put a Feather into a Merkur Slant Bar. At least it healed up by game time. The TOBS Soap is very nice and the BK8 has enough backbone to handle the hard soap.
