Accident Leads to First Mostly-Full Shave
But it worked pretty well...
I've slowly been increasing how much I shave with a straight razor. I'm to the point I'm fairly comfortable with my cheeks and the sides of my neck, but had never gotten to the chin or the front of my neck. Those I've been doing with the safety razor.
Then I went out of town for the weekend. When I got to the hotel, I found I'd forgotten to pack my safety razor. (I had everything for SR shaving.) Suddenly, my choices became "get courageous and go for it" or "let my beard grow and look scraggly." Since it had been two days since I had shaved, another 4 would give me a nice "wild, mountain man" look. That idea just didn't appeal to me, so I screwed up my courage and went for it.
I could not find a comfortable way to shave my chin, so ended up wearing a short goatee for the weekend. But I successfully shaved my neck without slicing anything to bits. I call that a success!
