Well, once in awhile things don't go quite right. Kind of like the Blues are playing hockey right now. They know the drill. They know they can and should play tight defense. They need to play heavy hocky. Yet, they're in a slump. So it goes in Cartel shave land at the moment. I wouldn't say I'm in a slump, but this shave took a turn in the wrong direction. Part of it may be timing. I actually shaved earlier than normal yesterday. As in around 2 pm. So, by the time I shaved tonight I'm coming up on about 32 hours between shaves rather than the usual 24 or so. Maybe the Sharp Star is losing its edge earlier than most. That's a possibility, though a slight one. All I know for sure is it felt a bit rough when I started and I tried adjusting the angle and somehow never found it. Add to the fact that I started adding pressure as I struggled with the angle and.....trust me.....the Muhle R41 kicks like a Missouri mule when you try to force it into acting right. Pressure is a huge no-no, as my red and burning face will attest. I'm happy to say I didn't draw any blood, but the fire from the alum made me wish I had. It would be less painful. Even with the slick Soap Commander this shave wasn't much fun.

I did find as I went that once I got the angle back on target the shave would smooth out. Still not as smooth as I'd expect, but still smooth. But, I found it impossible to hold the angle, and a lot of that was due to me pressing down to try and hold it. Sometimes technique just won't dial in, I suppose. That's ok. I survived to shave another day. Just wish I could have had this loss of technique control with a bit milder razor.

Hope you had a great Tuesday!! And I hope you have an even better Hump Day!!

Great set up, Neal. Sorry to hear the shave was as rough as it was. Seems like I've had a week of those--off and on.
