You haven't truly experienced a straight razor shave without giving yourself a battle wound to share with other's. I wear my scar with pride. I had atleast a hundred shave's with a straight when my razor bit me. As I was stretching the skin of my cheek my hand slipped and the skin retracted in the middle of a stroke with the razor. My eyebrows shot up to my hairline when I saw the damage. Good times! Great thread!
