Sorry to read about the nick, but glad it was good enough to count as DFS despite the flesh wound.

Did a full 3 pass shave to enjoy the shave more. Surprisingly, it wasn't quite as close as my normal 2 pass shave.
Have a happy shave!
I've often found the same thing. There's a lot to be said for doing things the same way over and over again.

Back to my favorite. The injectors seem to be a slightly easier shave. The Gem a slightly better shave
Have a happy shave!
Easier, better. Better, easier. Decisions, decisions.

I made that decision a while back.
If I ever lose my mind and start shaving my moustache area, I might appreciate the small head size of injectors more, but seeing that I have had a 'stache more of my life than not, I don't see that happening. Especially considering the without a 'stache had a 18 year head start.
I remember having one when I was much younger. Now that SWMBO has me on a retirement shaving schedule, mine has re-appeared. Not sure how long it will hang around, but I have one picture of my Grandpa sporting a pretty serious 'stache that I might try for!Especially considering the without a 'stache had a 18 year head start.

I've had one since I could grow one, except for a few trimming disasters. Once I figured out my deviated septum would make it appear "off" compared to the edges of my lips, I just started using the edges of my lips as the judge.
Since I've started growing a handlebar, I just use the natural "valley" of non-growth on my cheeks to chose where to shave on the sides, and shave even with the corners of my lips downward for the southern border.
I had a Fu Manchu nearly to my jawline from my late teens until around 2005.
The only picture I can find of me having a 'stache is this one at my Aunt Helen's house in Whittier, about 40 years ago.
I mostly rode Honda's.
1979 CB750-4
1983 CR250
My first bike was a Suzuki though. 44 years ago.
No mustache then haha. That was a great little bike, Suzuki TS75. I couldnt kill it and it still ran fine after I outgrew it and moved to the CR250.

I tried learning to ride motorcycles. A friend had a 175 he was letting me ride in the fields around the house. Came off a little hill and pulled too hard on the frontend, resulting it landing straight up and down, breaking off the taillight.
Later that year, same friend was letting me ride his Honda 350. I stupidly tried turning from a stop, almost laying it over, overcorrected, and laid it over on the other side.
Mine was a 1979 GS850GN shafty. The only bike I ever owned, bought it new for $2,700 USD. It had 28mm Mikuni's, the last year you could still change jets because of smog laws. It got 32 mpg on regular gas. 26 if you put premium in it, and it would barely even start.
You could shift it at 10,500 all day long because it had a ball-bearing crank.
I once pushed it to around 10,300 in 5th, on the 405 Freeway, the speedo said 136 and would go no further. It was about a 10 mile stretch of my 35 mile ride to work, and I got to work 10 minutes earlier than usual. About a year later I got a speeding ticket for 78 mph on the freeway, while my speedo was registering only 62. I went home and changed my shorts.
