The Shave
The shave went very well—all passes. Thanks to Chris

@9nein9 , I found myself singing “Pressure Drop.” This was pretty important, actually, because I tend to forget to lighten my hand with light shavers. Three light passes, and most of the irritation I’m feeling now is irritation I was already feeling from yesterday’s shave.
The Score
Comfort: Again, hard to tell, because I came into this shave still irritated. I’m not feeling any worse, though. Score: 4
Closeness: BBS/DFS. Score: 4
Some Thoughts
Oddly, my Aqua Velva Ice Blue is starting to actually feel icy now that I’ve stopped adding additional menthol to my routine--it never felt cool to me before. Does that mean I’m ditching the Frost Drops? Heck no. Just interesting, that’s all.
Tally

Overall, a fantastic shave. Wonderfully close, and almost no punishment for getting there—win. Enjoy the rest of this Tuesday, folks--I know I will!
