All good, when I first got my blade it was so sharp putting it to my face cut my upper lip. It's definitely not as sharp as back then but definitely acceptable to my level since I've also taken it upon myself to maintain the blade. Until this summer whenever I shaved my neck it would be so sensitive and still not be smooth until I adjusted my strop technique!

It definitely is an unique experience! I started it originally to be more 'manly' but it's definitely a ritual I do twice a week now. I usually do a full shave on the Sunday and mid-week do a cheek/sideburn touch up and upper lip (all 6 hairs on that upper lip).
