Been working on it for a couple of weeks. Lots of nicks and one slice ..... got the cheeks down, neck without nicks has still not been achieved ---- chin is still healing! I have made a deal with the wife that I will let my chin heal, before another attempt .... I've struggled with stropping -accidently slicing it as I tried to speed up my stroke to fast (new one on order) --- another lesson learned about controlled speed. Besides all of that--- I'll persevere - seems allot of guys are doing it without injury - just a matter of time until I join you. This forum is great. Thanks for all of the posts. Oh yeh, I have one advantage, my wife is a nurse - surgical glue works wonders!
