26/30
Saturday morning and no rush out the door today.
I soaked the brush today (because why?) And then flicked it almost dry. I then did my now normal trick of circles/water drips/no brush mashing and got a real good loading resulting in loads of lather. Buckets of the stuff. Lathertastic.
3 pass shave. Reverted to my normal down/across/up passes because doing otherwise didn't seem to have much affect. I noted my beard grain is actually more nose-ear so my XTG pass was ear-nose to get the pass as close as possible.
The blade is good on the 2nd run.
I notice myself really backing off on the brush work, both on my face and on the puck. I am perhaps guilty of stressing brushes too much. This hurts the brush and my face! Just use the tips on the pucks and use some side-side stokes on the face (which oddly enough seems better at lathering???)
A nice shave. Almost BBS. Very consistant. Perhaps as good as i can get.
I have a slight rash (again) though. I am wondering if i am sensitive to this soap?
Oh, finished with Channel Allure A/S for a super nice ending
