and boy does my face look like my first strop. I forget what an incredibly smooth shave can be had from a full hollow but the blade is so much less forgiving. no gashes or anything, but touch your face with the blade at the wrong angle for a split second and you got a straight line of red. Had to use the alum stick about 3 times.

anyone else ever use a style of razor for so long that when you switch over it takes you a shave or two to remember how to drive?
