First time in many years that I've shaved my face, and I didn't even draw blood!

Those of you who know me or have seen pictures know I've had a 1--3mm beard'ish for a long time.

I'm having my throat slit† open in surgery tomorrow morning for a complete removal of the thyroid gland so I thought I'd spare a nurse some trouble and take a stab at cleaning away the hair.

No thoughts and prayers please. I'll report back here if and/or when I survive

† vertically not horizontally

Forgive me, @mutax, but I just have to steal that:

the C in c.root-servers.net. stands for "caputt".

to be clear: if it's a issue and something's broken, then it's spelled kaputt.

I've got a good mind to pay y'all to not contribute any more to @mwl 's Kickstarter: just the idea of seeing that video is enough to make me want to learn "Savaged by Systemd" by heart.
