Last shave before AA. Three passes, no irritation. Blade felt duller than usual. Probably from being carried on a bike.

Very nice last shave before AA. The frag was a gift from the hotel, which seems insane to me.
My thrown out back is surprisingly annoying when shaving. I'm tall enough that I cannot do anything stink-related without bending down and bending is hell right now. Time to adapt, improvise, and overcome.
How did you throw out your back?
Oh, nothing special really. I got up from the couch, and something it my back just decided to spasm and a second later I couldn't even get up anymore. The dumbest fucking thing.
Lucky for me, there was an English speaking doctor on call in the clinic across the street, and she gave be a shot of pain killers and some prescription muscle relaxer and with that I managed to sleep and even survive a 6 hour flight without too much pain.
