Skipping WTG would give Rhino's backside razor burn.......Ouch!

i usually don't cut myself but my last shave i was using scything motion and ended up slicing a big peace of beef. i think that method works great but you need to be very care full . Not to put pressure or make longer strokes.

Allow me to join the purple heart crew. Yesterday, I was shaving and made three major mistakes that resulted in a quater inch gash in my upper cheek.

Mistake # 1. Was in a hurry to finish
Mistake # 2. Grew over confident Thought I had learned everything, I considered myself a great samurai with a katana.

Mistake # 3. Had a drink before the shower.

There's some crazy English guy on Youtube who drinks while he shaves and all he ended up with was meat-grinder-face. I've gotten good, but being buzzed would just bring me back to square one (you wouldn't really know how much you cut/burned yourself until you were sober...ouch).

I think he's billed as the fastest straight razor shave on Youtube, but he's hanging out for something like 10 minutes...

Alcohol doesn't mix with a lot of things and SR shaving in one of them. I will be my reminder everytime I look a the scar in my cheek. Funny thing, Lynn warns against using alcohol while shaving including honing. Think I have learned!
