Result: 4.0/5.0 I was able to save the shave. It wasn't bad on the result. I got close to BBS and all that but the cream just didn't perform that well. I thought the blade on the Feather ACD-N needed to be changed after only a couple of shaves. I checked my angles to make sure I wasn't cringing or something after Monday's shave. BTW, the ear is looking great. Can't say the same for my horse's hoof. He now has a steel band with some screws drilled into his hoof to keep it from splitting more. That's another story. Back to the shave. It just didn't seem like I was cutting anything. I used the DE to do a lot more work than usual. Very weird. Since I'm writing this at the same time as today's SOS it's to be continued...
