    Thanks for the support and the humour.
    I was using my Boker this morning and it has the square tip I think it's called? Not rounded like the Ontario Cutlery but of the two I own so far it's my preferred blade. Easier detail work around the stache but that point nipped me as I tried different approaches on the chin. I have an old slightly horizontal scar just below my lip that I'm still very aware of as I shave with the straight, and well I guess I shifted the blade a hair a few times while still against the flesh and voila..
    That septic pencil sting,, I almost forgot as its been years since I needed one before picking up the interest in this style of shaving.
    So to play it safe, this will remain an afterwork or weekend ritual until its second nature to me..
    If I find a straight made be weed whacker I may even tackle that forest growing above the collar!!lol.
    Cheers.

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    My kids always give me a hard time about watching Horror Movies as they have to watch Cartoons or something atter or they can't sleep. I now know a bit better how they feel... Some things just can't be unseen... Here I was thinking I'd peek around here then crash... Now I need to watch 30 minutes of honing and stropping videos just to get that image out of my head.

    This thread has taken a dark dark turn..
    Veered smack into manscaping territory and there are some areas I just won't trim,,,
    Well not again,, there was that one time in college.......hehe.
    As far as those nicks that I did the other day, the one is actually quite the thin fillet o flesh, but quite deep. Think I'll be using the electric, at least on my chin for the next week or so.
