Ouch!

This is just so much to remember. Tried and cut myself, those blades are sharp!!!

OK, maybe my fault being new and all. But here is what gets me. I tried to stop the bleeding with Proraso in a small tube. No luck, went to the styptic pencil. Still no luck. Finally put a bandaid on and was able to take off the bandaid before walking into work.

Oh, I cut myself high on the cheek not far from my sideburn. All joking aside I wonder if people who look anorexic should not do this? I mean my face bones do show, lost 60 pounds and all. Still losing.

Problems......

I get mixed up with what hand and what side. The videos and mirrors and all backwards. I remember they use the hand to put up on the sideburn. So left hand pulls the opposite side and hence the razor is in the other hand.

Angle of the blade 30 degrees and use arm to keep it thirty. Maybe I should back off of the angle some? Never adjust angle while in mid stroke. I think I heard so sweep the face never starting from a dead stop? Need to watch videos again. Maybe make sure skin is tight I mean tight.

Then again it might be my cheap razor? The Shavette? Was thinking of trying a Feather SS. Trying to avoid the whole stropping thing until I master this part. Again, the videos make it so easy. But then again, one cut is not the end of the world and it is small. Maybe I thought I could do this with no cuts but then that would be no fun.

I need to be better prepared. Cell phone handy for 911. Needle and thread for stitches. Smelling salt in case I pass out. Flask of whiskey for confidence.
