I've been mostly shaving with straights for the past week, with reasonably good results - virtually no nicks or cuts - until this morning!

A momentary lapse in concentration and the next thing I knew I had a 1.5" slice in my cheek. I realized what happened immediately - no pain (that came with the alum and A/S!), but just felt the razor cut into my cheek - I actually had a rivulet of blood running down my cheek.

After all was said and done, its not too bad and should be healed up in a couple of days - certainly a strong incentive to pay more attention when using a straight!

On the upside, I've honed the Boker myself and am quite pleased to be shaving with a blade I've put into shaving condition - its not 100% there yet, but a few more trips on the pasted paddle I got from Tony should get me the rest of the way there.
