Got cocky and it backfired. So there I was, getting ready for bed and needing to shave.  I was really tired and figured I'd be able to get to bed faster if i skipped the with the grain and across the grain steps and went straight for against the grain.  I figured why not just go straight to the part that gets my face smooth.

Big.  Mistake.

Ended up getting all kinds of nicks and cuts.  Won't be skipping those steps again.
