So i received my Wapi on saturday and I couldn't hold myself back anymore. I wanted so bad to run to the bathroom and try it out. However with it being the blue and white game here at psu I spent the morning drinking and decided I should wait until after dinner to attempt it.
Well post nap and dinner I told my mom who happened to be in town to stick around and take me to the ER should I screw up. Well I started with stropping then I began my task. I don't think I had the blade sharp enough because every stroke felt like I was using a broken piece of glass. I decided to strop again and continue. I proceeded to take a nice chunk out of my chin.
At this point, I realized that my blood was a bit too thin for this activity and spent the next hour doing damage control. (My investment in a septic pen was a day too late!)
Today I decided my blade wasn't nearly sharp enough and thats why it hurt so bad so I spent a good amount of time on the side with chromium stuff on it and then the leather side. I took a hair and let it drop on the razor and it broke in half! This time I knew it was sharp enough and I attempted a second shave.
WOW
I have never had a closer shave in my life even double backing with a vibrating mach 3. My skin feels amazing and I didnt cut myself once. Thanks again to Kenrup for setting me up with the wapi and strop!
