As a reminder not to get complacent

One of the things I love about straight razor shaving is that you must be mindful. I haven’t nicked myself yet, but I have raised a thin pink line where the razor would have cut me had I used little more pressure.

You haven’t nicked yourself ever? In almost 400 open blade shaves?

I’m impressed!

  I meant this month. However, I very rarely nick myself and I can’t remember a nick that did not close during my cold water rinse. Recall that while you can do a slurry lather shave in 5 minutes, it takes me 6½. I’m quite deliberate with the edge and try to never rush it.

    Ah, that makes sense 😅

    I never rush it 95% of the time, that’s it 😄

    And, I suspect that you have far more distractions than I do :)
