If you have kept track of my progress since I started posting in SOTD, I have been slowly starting to increase the number of cycles on stropping as I have been becoming more confident with it.

I am still only shaving the neck and letting the winter beard fill in. If anything I am becoming more and more confident with my neck each time. When comes time for me to chop back down to a goatee or van dyke I may have a pleasant shave. I am more steady with my neck and less nervous. Each curve is becoming more of a reflex and less of thought process on how to attack it. One minor nick at the base of my neck where blade met collar bone. Nothing bad, just didn't pay attention to where I was. Man do I love me some MWF. I am going to have to buy some back up pucks. This may just be my default after I get through all the flavor samples I have for my Saturday shave from SRD.

Happy Shaving!
