    Chris, it was a very bad wound. It went from the side tip and past the nail bed. I should have gone for med care, but the virus situation in NY is not good so I wrapped it and finished the shave. I placed a bandaid on it and squeezed it for 20 min. Changed the bandage every day to check for infection for 3 days in a row. It did'nt look pretty, but 4 weeks later, it's fine.

    Nice work. Glad it worked out, sans betadine and sutures. Jedi move was telling us. Kudos.

    Feather was discarded after 16 shaves in a Gillette 195 (Fat Boy), dial set at nine.

    That's a really good effort!
    Did the quality of the shave decline noticeably, or did you bin it as soon as it wasn't up to snuff?

    To be fair... I followed an idiot proof thread, complete with videos, on honing with film!

    It was a little time consuming - particularly setting the bevel, but it wasn't complicated

    I have to skip a meal every week to make up for the money I lose straining granules out of my soaps. Don't get me started on how much I lose blooming...

    Nice shave anyway, Joe. Love lavender soaps. Planted some lavender yesterday. Working outside actually made me forget, albeit temporarily, that we are in the middle of a pandemic.

    Great shave report, Tim! Does the straight razor appear after the 100th shavette shave?

    Great looking blade, Evan. I assume this will be a Japanese style fixed handle? Kamisori blades have a one-sided bevel, don’t they? Yours will be two sided, or at least I assume that from the pic. Please excuse my ignorance. I know next to nothing about straight razors.
