Got 3-4 cuts – a couple of em are super minor and will be gone in the morning, another on my ear wasn’t great and then one heavy hander slice on the left side required a bandaid. I’m beginning to be nervous that I’m going to end up with permanent scars for this stupid challenge I don’t even care about.
Blade is getting scrapier by the day. We’re not even halfway yet, I really don’t know how it’s going to hold out.
I was able to do a decent downward pass and then my hybrid across and against the grain pass was fine, aside from the few slices. I really think it has more to do with the blade than my technique at this point but I haven’t read enough SOTDs from Weck folks to know if it’s the same for all us Personna users. My chin is surprisingly getting easier. What was impossible to navigate day 1 has become not impossible, I suppose.
Dundy pics is still great. Notice the sick bandaid from where I stupidly pressure washed my arm the other week. Fun times.
Dammusi is still great.
Have a good night, y’all.
