Well the other day I took my second chance with a DE(grandpas old gillete fatboy?) nicked myself a few times, BURNED the heck out of my neck. Still waiting on my golden dollars from rup and had to shave so pulled out the disposible straight I have. No burn but several nicks. This after going extreme(for me)

HOT towel
lather
