1st pass WTG 2nd pass WTG. Taking down 6 days of growth, and I ended up being in a hurry as I forgot about dinner with my girlfriend's mom tonight. A socially acceptable shave - 1 weeper on the moustache area.

I'm not feeling confident about using this blade for a 3rd try but I'm telling myself that it was only so irritating because I was in a hurry/the hairs were so long.
