Beard Growth After Straight

I always make up a good story to explain an injury to the ladies such as, I was mountain biking racing with a top 10 mountain biker and we took this one turn and........

Yeah, I had my day in the sun!

what? straight razor accident isn't a cool enough conversation starter?

Proper "stories" start out "And there I was...." or "This is no s#*t...."

Oh yeah, good point..... "And there I was shaving with a deadly blade that could take your head CLEAN off and some ninjas came through the window......"

Wow.... that is truly going to leave an awesome scar behind (and forever alter your fingerprints). Funny about those cuts though is that it hurts a hell of a lot more AFTERWARDS.. the cut itself was painless I assume.

Hope you're back on your thumbs soon.

As the young samurai said " Excellent cut "

Hope your back to slappin those triplets.

Yipes! I hope we see no one top that. Congrats, I believe you have set the bar! seriously though, I hate seeing anyone hurt. You make my first nick look humble. Heal well and prosper.

I don't know about beard growth differences since beginning to shave with a straight razor (since I just started in Saturday, 7/25) but, crap!, that's a heck of a slice!! My brother's a chef, and I've seen some nasty cuts he and his buddies have endured. Yours ranks right up there! Take it light, bradda.

I remember stray hairs refusing to be cut by anything before I started straight razor shaving so if I wasn't on top of things with the electric/disposable, my stubble/early beard would be stiff and very uneven.

If the difference in beard growth is true, I guess that means we found a side benefit of straight shaving:a way to bring in a awesome, masculine stubble/early beard look all the movies and such keep showing off?

I have found beard growth to have slowed and become more unifrom since straight shavng, I went a full seven days between shaves (usually 3/4)
And had the best shave that I've had for a very long time, am still a beginner and finish with the fusion
