OMG! I've been using a gentle 'scoop' type motion on my upper lip to get a nice clean pass. It's been working great and I started today in the middle of my upper lip - first stroke - awesome.

Second stroke - moved to under my right nostril and for some reason I was not paying ANY attention I had the angle so terribly, terribly wrong. I think it was probably 40-50 degrees to my face...Started the scoopy move (btw the Tosuke was freshly honed and stropped - I could hear it slicing atoms of oxygen as I moved it to my face) and yup....it scooped- a piece of my face about half the size of my little fingernail.

I finished a two pass shave - a little shaky from the cut - mopping blood from my lip and chin the whole while. After I cleaned up, I noticed the flap of skin still attached so my wife helped my put it back up over the gouge no applied some polysporin. Hopefully it will heal soon.

My lovely wife gave me a rather sizeable blast of sh^$ for being "...so stupid..." And cuffed my up-side the head. Live and learn....

*sigh* - I SO thought I had this thing mattered after a week of no cuts.... But...as the 'experts' here always say - PAY ATTENTION!!!!!

No pics - it's too gross.
