Everything that went right yesterday went wrong today, starting with dropping the MM24 immediately after loading. It landed flush (so no razor damage) but the latch opened, and the blade slid out. The blade appeared unaffected, so I risked shaving with it. Because I couldn't stop thinking about how stupid it was to drop the razor, I lost focus while lather building, added too much water and ended up with thin scum that prevented the MM24 head from smoothly gliding on my face. A this point I was too stubborn to admit defeat, so I did 3 passes of short, choppy strokes which avoided thrashing my face but was the opposite of the long, efficient strokes I used yesterday. I survived without screwing up anything else and can't wait until tomorrow's shave to fix everything I screwed up today. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
