I was Jinxed! Notes From The Edge
Thanks @Seveneighth
Straight Razor Shave #41
2019/02/08 Shave:
Prep - Noxzema, Hot towel**, Lather*, Hot towel**, DIY Pre-Shave Oil
Razor - Pearlduck Dubl Duck Special No. 1, Blue Diamond S.R.Droescher #106, Gem 1912/Gem SS(6)
Soap - Stubble Buster's Game
Brush - Graydog Olivewood/Black Palm knotted w/ Omega Pro 10098
Post - Alum, Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel, Hot Towel**, Sea Breeze Sensitive, Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve
Passes - 3 2WTG, 1 steep buffing ATG
Result - BBS
Finished first pass, clear sailing. Started second, was thinking to self, "Blue Diamond is noticeably sharper than Dubl-Duck today". Switch to throat and notice, visually, about an 1 1/2" trail of blood coming from right in front of my ear lobe***. Manage another toe cut on my throat, decided chin was a no go, doing third pass with Gem.
While doing steep buffing ATG, discovered a 3rd, previously nonbleeding flap of skin along jawline, obviously from a toe cut. Snagged, welled up, but no active bleed.
I will be getting a file and making a round point in the near future. Double jinxed! Just commented yesterday in a thread that I don't like Square points! Which is your favorite straight razor point? Thanks @Kayjun
Other than cuts, alum was quiet. Styptic took care of 2 initial cuts.
@Somerled, Great Idea!
Shave
about 4 hrs. after
