The confidence that I had with yesterday’s shave seems to have withered in the wind. This shave wasn’t bad, but a couple of close calls made me second guess myself (rightfully so). I’m quite tired, so probably shouldn’t have even tried!
This is my second SOTD post today, but my first one was actually from last night. I had to switch to a night shave for work, and this is just an attempt to switch back.
At least for your first 50 shaves, you should not use a straight razor when tired. I can feel quite clearly that my fine motor skills decline with the hour of the day, and I made a rule not to shave with a straight anymore after 22:00.
I agree. Luckily I didn’t get anything more than a couple of weepers and some razor burn. I learned my limit and will know to put the straight away next time.
