A rough day

I was hoping for a luxurious shave this evening. Unfortunately it wasn’t the case. And definitely not theme related, the complete opposite of green, but red!

I have a few blemishes on my face, and unfortunately I managed to cut into both of them on my first pass. One of them bled quite profusely, it took a number of applications of the alum block to finally get the bleeding under control. I only went in for a second pass, and navigated around these two wounds. It was not my cleanest shave. So much for a luxurious shave. Oh well!
