Result: 1.0/5.0 Grooved my left earlobe. I don't know how I did it but I did. About 1/2 inch groove near the bottom. Thought I had just nicked in front or something and then I saw the groove. That was an "oh sh**" moment. Everything else about the shave was great but I did the groove early and I must say it made me nervous. Good thing this was the ACD-N and not a Irish Point or Spike Point straight. I would have split the earlobe. It's not deep at all but it may scar. Damn.
I noticed on the Em's Place Aftershave, it's lost it's mintiness. I'll use it up. Doc's Northern Dragon Soap was very nice. The Omega Brush sucked the soap up big time. I had to recharge the brush after pass 2. Some of that was due to me having to take time out to stem the blood flow with a cold compress and styptic. I need to bring in my Nik is Sealed just in case it ever happens again. What a mess.
