Cut myself (not badly) under my ear, the sqare point got me.
I'm not touching up with a DE, my goal is to get BBS with a str8. Walking around with straglers and rough spots will motivate me to do better next time.
The saga continues.
Today I tried to shave with an old injector blade from +- 1960 but it wasn't sharp at all! It was part of a type J injector. Too bad but I'm happy I didn't buy one hundred of them!

I'd seen Ingram mentioned on the forums so picked some up at my local Superdrug for £1.99.
If there's anybody in the UK who hasn't tried this, and likes a bit of menthol and cooling sensation, then I highly recommend the Ingram. I've just had a superb shave, no nicks, cuts or bleeders. My skin feels lovely and cool, smooth and moisturised. Like the scent too. For £1.99, you can't beat this. For a shave it's up there with the best I've had from the high end creams.
Nicely set up for my poker evening tonight. Going to act cool...like my shave
