Happy Cinco de Julio! Yes, I partook in today's tomfoolery. It went okay. The popsicle sticks were the basic skinny ones. That's an awful lot of blade reveal there. If I do this again, I'll probably want to rethink that. Or use a stiffer blade like a Gem. The blade itself today was a Rapira Stainless on its third or fourth shave. I also used glue, because I have no idea where the stapler is.
The soap of choice was Electric Sheep, so if anything goes wrong, I can't blame the lather.
Two passes went without incident. At that point, if all I cared about was looking presentable, then I could stop. But I usually prefer a third pass, atg, and some touching up. Turns out that super light, super flexible, and atg are not such a good combination. No real damage, just a couple of weepers. But it really just
felt like I was asking for it, so I bailed halfway through and grabbed the Gem to finish.
