I think it was me. It just felt off. But I think I might have been too hard on myself. Just came out of the shower and WTG my face feels really smooth. ATG though is another story.

But even though it looked bad, it wasn't really uncomfortable except for this spot on my lower neck, left side-to-center, that I've been struggling with for years. The hair here grows in a thick, pointy swirl that gives me all kinds of issues, but I'm improving it. No weepers today. Even in my electric days I could feel the cutting mechanism struggling there.

but typically, if it hurts, I stop and switch to DE/SE or call it quits.

But tonight did give me the impetus to finally go out tomorrow and get the materials to make a small pasted paddle strop. I need to keep this razor as keen as I can.
