Another pretty good shave this morning. I had a minor increase in sting when I used my Alum Block. My angle could be slightly off or the blade is dulling a little quicker than usual. Apart from that the shave was good. I would rate the shave an 8.5/10.
On a side note, when I was drying my blade after the shave I dropped it on the top of my foot and gave myself a weeper. I felt I nick/nip and sure enough I opened the skin. It fell blade side down.
