Took one day off and my face was itching. I got back on the saddle this morning. Feels good. I have had several blood letting while learning. This one was just weird because it never hurt. I could feel the blade under my skin, just no pain. I was careful shaving around it this morning but didn't hurt at all. I was expecting it to be uncomfortable but the smoothness was a pleasant surprise.
Thank you all for the well wishes.
