13th and last day of the Jr focus. Since I sent the last 4 of the 30DC brushes out yesterday, and now all are either in folk's dens or in transit, I'm going to use mine for the first time. This was made about half way through the brushes, and wasn't meant to be mine, but as I was reducing stock around a knot, I discovered a small crack. It isn't enough to compromise anything, but still, I didn't want anyone else to have to worry about it. The crack looks kind of like a smile. You can see it in the picture. I might call it 'Smiley'.
Anyway, the Tuxedo whipped up an excellent lather with not much of this fantastic soap in no time flat. I reduced the load to about 10 seconds after last time, and still ended up with plenty of soap. This takes more water than any other soap I've got. FWIW, to my untrained nose, the AS and SS smell
exactly the same.
3 passes later, am super smooth and willing to say goodbye for a bit to the Jr. I've had pretty much great, routine shaves from the beginning with this razor, regardless which of the 4 blades I ran through it. Next up for July will be a focus with a NEW LC I picked up a month ago but saved for a focus.
Have a great day all!
