Blackland Tradere OC w/Voskhod

Proraso Styptic Gel
Meet Hannibal (cause I already have a kamisori called Loki). Had a great shave going, fun ZM face lather from Jason's handle loaded with the Omega boar....and wow. Lightning strike gotcha on nearly the last swipe of the second pass. Not entirely sure if it was blade angle or (not) taught skin, but obviously a user error during what is a normal blade swipe for me (not a set down). Inspection and flow indicated a tiny bite on the upper left lip, the peak of the transition area between skin and soft tissue. Slow leak that didn't want to stop no matter what was thrown at it....alum swipe (no), alum w/pressure (no). Ended up needing a combination of pressure, super dry skin, and hefty application of Proraso Styptic gel.
Finished with Keith's rule....set down the straight and used the Tradere OC for the remaining pass of lower neck & jawline.
All better now....just a pinhead spot on the lip, but no fun earlier this morning.
Tomorrow. Better.
Have a great day gentlemen!
