That happened to me. Haha my dad hated mine at first and a week or two later when I needed a shave I handed him the razor and he cut it for me. It was one of his better moments. :]
haha thats good, i think my dad would, but i don't think i trust his eye lol. my mum would say "do it yourself, isn't that what you guys are all about?"
Glad your mum helped you out - even against her own preferences. Too often people get self-righteuos and selfish and don't think on how something that doesn't affect them really would help make someone else very happy.
Thinking on others is the mark of a great character.
haha, i went to have mine done professionally, just for the first shave you know? well some asshat stole my credit card and i had to call up my mum so that she could come pay for it. she was NOT pleased, but she acted cool about it :P
