So today I was enjoying the best shave I've ever had in my life (improving stroping and honing skill) and suddenly found blood spurting from my hand at an alarming rate.

Somehow when changing hand positions I ran my knuckle across the blade and made a real mess of my bathroom. After slowing the bleeding to a reasonable rate I found a 1" clean cut right down to the knuckle on the ring finger of my right hand (on a 30 degree angle or so )

Now the sick thing is the most challenging part was stopping the blood while keeping my lather wet and then re-stroping. Shaving with an adrenaline high is interesting too.

Anyway, I am working on a long picture filled post detailing my enterance into the straight razor shaving world, along with a review of the 3" paddle strop that Tony was kind enough to send me. Expect it early next week as I am going white water canoeing this weekend.
