18/30.
I have the mid-DC blues
3rd shave with this blade and i had to check this thread to see when i put it in as i felt it to be long in the tooth (it isn't).
Another day, another lesson: I need to start shaving with my glasses on. When i got to work yesterday, i went for my morning tinkle and looking in the bathroom mirror, though i had left my breakfast on my face

. Not so. It was dried blood in two spots.
Shaving witj glasses on is a challenge! But it has the added bonus of me being able to see the shave better. I used them today and i don't think its something that is going to go away.
I had a pre-shave wash with my aleppo soap. It really helps bring out the whiskers.
Used the 404. Lost a few hairs. Again. This isn't something i have tracked up to now, but i will going forward. Current hair loss: 10.
I got loads of soap off the puck. Put the first few swishes down on my face before finishing loading. Lathered up no bother. I thought today i would get 3 passes of it but alas, it died on its arse again on #3. No so bad as yesterday but die it did. The comment about lather dying by a previous poster came to mind. I am becoming more convinced that this isn't a soap loading issue and that the knot just isn't up for it. Odd.
Crap shave. Much swishing and swashing and buffing etc. I have two weepers, a red neck from overshaving and a DFS-shave overall.
Meh.
I did finish off with Arko Gold AS so i smell nice at least

Lets see what tomorrow brings, if its more of the same i might just grow a beard...
