4 days since my last shave, but I couldn't stand to go to work without a quick shave this morning

cold water on face
Robeson 15-A-250 straight razor

3 minutes total!

no cuts, nicks, or irritation, and the cheeks got BBS

I will not push my luck and try this often, but I consider it a milestone to confidently shave this way and not hack my face
