Third shave WTG sides and neck only and stopping myself before nicking myself this time. Finally exercising a little self control. I noticed however that I naturally used my good hand on both sides before realizing that I forgot to switch hands. Perhaps this is better for me or I should force myself to switch?

In the end the shave was not close at all as I concentrated on using a single spine width angle but at least the styptic stick stayed in its case this time. Will stick with this approach until I have a few dozen shaves under my belt before increasing the angle or attempting around the mouth and chin.
