Sorry about the gouge Bro. I use the Gillette Slim, which I'm happy with. Yeah I put a couple of nicks in my dome-however it was due to wrong adjustment (having the setting too high), or improper technique; yet most of the time I am successful.
Glad you've healed Reddog, and hope you acquire that Fatboy.
Thanks, DC. Still using my old Tech and a Mercur and haven't knicked myself in a long time. Concentration and go slow is the key. Can't beat a BBS shave with a DE.
