Thread: The stitches come out Friday

I posted a question a few weeks ago about the ability to take a straight on a cruise ship. Well, I did, and can give three reasons why this was a bad decision:

1. Lighting is poor
2. Space is cramped
3. Apparently, stitches cost @ $75 apiece!

I thought I had become proficient with technique, but never gave much thought to the proximity of my off-hand when rinsing the blade. In a new environment, where the faucet handle is very close to the spout, be very careful that your blade does not intersect with fingers while rinsing. I managed to slice a five stitch gash in my middle finger.

The good news is that when I dropped the razor in the sink, creating a bur in the blade, I was able to practice honing successfully when back home. Got the blade back to tip top shape and feel good about that!

Merry Christmas to all.
