WTG pass went awesome today, only blood was from nicking a pimple (which happens with the DE too). No problems with my weird neck spot at all.
The not WTG pass was awful. My hand twitched with blade on skin while going up my cheek for the dreaded "parallel to edge blade motion" so I’ve got a nice, long, red line going across my face. Alum stopped the bleeding pretty quick, so it’s probably just papercut depth, but man was that not fun. Gonna have to avoid that spot for a couple days. Need to try a lot harder to get explicitly XTG on that second pass instead of whatever the hell my hands have been letting me do so far for the next couple days. We're halfway to a decent shave.
Speaking of alum, I used Osma for the first time the other day. It definitely helped with the day after feel of these terrible shaves (doing these at night, so I gotta get through a workday in the meantime). Regular alum would probably do that too, but considering it’s making this slightly less of a nightmare I’ll give Osma the credit.
AA Mileage: 18 miles. No change, rest day today.
