Just in case I needed to be knocked down a few notches, it happened this morning. My shave performance was just a little worse than the first time I picked up a straight.

With the exact same everything that has been giving me near perfect results for the last 6 months I completely blew it. Three nicks and some razor burn. I'm glad I didn't throw out my Nick Stick. I wish I could blame the equipment, But......

Brother was that humbling.
