Result: Sucked. I really need to stop shaving after working in the yard and then putting a Feather ACD-N to my face. I am just looking for trouble. Two weepers and a nick later, I was able to salavage the shave and the blood stopped naturally before the shave ended. The vibrations from the lawnmower, leaf blower and weed whacker just play havac with muscle co-ordination for a while. Trying to hold the razor steady is a serious challenge.
