What the hell did you do? Please don't say commando shaving

It all started with helping a frosh kid who couldn't really handle the century club, puke his little guts out. By the time I tucked him in and went to meet the rest of the crowd at the spot where they had a bonfire going, I had to go alone, with no ilumination, through a dark forest. Lost the trail and had to cut through the woods to get to the main trail. On the way, I made acquaintance with a tree trunk.That sucker took me about 6 months to heal.

Edit: For all of you non-CDN members, frosh = freshman.

Inebriated stab wounds do not count!

but ripping hair sober does

I wasn't really inebriated when the injury happened. Only did a century club.

Clauss 11/16 SP New Departure Razor
Ever Ready brush
Ivory bar soap

Used the Ivory soap because I was trying out a scuttle recently purchased at an area antique store and didn't have any shaving soap available that fit in it. The scuttle worked well, the water stayed hot so the lather was warmer than usual. The soap worked well enough. I used to use Ivory when I shaved with disposables but this was the first time with a str8.

Fri:

Rooney brush, GDS soap, 5/8 Puma, Harris face milk. Good shave.

Hot shower, cream rinse soak on whiskers
Hot towel
Classicshaving vanilla soap
Vulfix 2234
NOS 7/8 Crown & Sword
Alum block
Pinaud Bay Rum A/S

I'm getting tired of leaving some sideways growing stubble on my neck with straights and went pretty aggressive there today including a 4th pass with re-stropping the razor and water only. Still left a little bit that I can feel if I look for it but knew I'd gone about as aggressive as I wanted to when I applied the alum and A/S. No screaming involved but felt a nice burn and saw the skin go red for about 5 minutes.

Shaved with the AC (Pro blades). That thing was HARSH A moment of carelessness gave me one nick (but I would have got a nick from a straight as well), but that wasn't the issue. Just the feel on the skin was unreal. It also needed unusually frequent rinsings. The shave itself was cleaner than a straight shave but not nearly enough to justify leaving my old friends. I may still get one as a traveller.
