    Default Impossible with a cartridge...

    So I cut my ear lobe last night. It is about 10% removed from my face now. Ears bleed a lot.

    But, I successfully shaved my neck, so I count it as a WIN!

    Yes, they do! I nicked my earlobe twice in one shave a few weeks ago when I got my 4/8 round tip. I thought I was gonna run out of styptic powder. However, congrats are due for a successful neck shave.

    With a cartridge, this is impossible. But with a straight razor, all things are possible

    Is anything possible with a cartridge? Not counting bad shaves...

    Well, I'm almost ashamed to make this public, but many years ago I walked around sporting parallel cuts on the tip of my nose for a time.

    While shaving with a dual blade disposable a fly landed on my nose and I waved it away... with the razor.

    If you shot coffee through your nose, you deserve it. It's not funny.

    I find very short strokes to work well. I'm talking fractions of an inch here

    +1 on the short strokes take your time and use short strokes. It takes a muscle memory and it will get faster as that improves.
