I swear the Weck is just a medieval torture device.

A better shave. Not great, but better.

Really focused on my angle today. I think it works better for me at a steeper angle than I was trying. Not quite 90 degrees, but steeper than 45 seemed to do the best job. Definitely have less irritation today than yesterday, and a closer shave.

One fewer nick today, but the ones I did have really bled a lot. The Osma wasn't enough to stem the blood, I had to get out the styptic, which I hadn't used since we moved... so at least 2 months.
