Kyle, the Weck is wearing a set of vintage wooden scales that I salvaged. Not sure what type of wood it is or even how old they are. Should I seal it with something ?SOTD 6.11.19

Well today was shave 2 with a he Weck and I decided to try it sans the guard. Results are about the same as yesterday but with fewer weepers and more irritation. Today's weepers I'm pretty sure were just a couple of yesterday's that were reopened but the irritation was most from poor technique I think, possibly the blade is a tad harsh. I'm going to strop it before tomorrow's shave and probably put the guard back on.

Man these early mornings are kicking my butt this week. Only 2 more after today though. Now where did I put my coffee?
it would probably be a good idea to help protect them. beeswax would probably be a pretty good option that is easy to apply, as long as you don't mind reapplying once in a while.Kyle, the Weck is wearing a set of vintage wooden scales that I salvaged.

I have used i think it was Minwax before with good results. i have actually been meaning to pick more up(old one got lost in a move) so i might try and do that this week and can get a coat on before i send it along if you like.I'll have to pick up some bees wax. Thanks

Bummer on the rougher shave! Maybe you need the training wheels on again
Just kidding. Hopefully the stropping solves it.
A light touch for the Weck is best until the blade mellows. The Personna blades are wicked sharp.i just have a bad habit of using to much pressure with light blades. That's part of why i like bigger SRs.
