A month or so in now... and it seems to be going well... stropping technique seems adequate... (though I've got a replacement leather coming because of nicks) but for the most part, as far as shaves, I've been relatively bloodless.... every once in a while, in the same place on my neck... I'd 'catch'... I finally figured it out... it's a freaking small skin tag... I think I've about got it 'leveled off!" I'm fair skinned, (and overweight) so I'm pretty prone... especially around my neck where my tshirt 'rubs'..... Anyone else have that issue?
