The Shave...
I was going for a 3 passer, but time was getting away from me and rather than rush it, I simply stopped when time ran out--2 passes and some touch-ups on the chin. DFS over all. Little to no irritation (that’s the important part for me).
Did get careless a few times, though: 3 or 4 set-down errors. 2 of them bled, 1 needed the styptic and I should probably be mindful of the area for tomorrow’s shave. That part is a bit frustrating, cause if we’re going to be 100% honest, set-down errors really are the easiest ones to avoid. It indicates a lack of focus.
One very cool thing, though: the hollow under my jaw, midway and toward the back is getting BBS now. That was typically a difficult area for me with my DE/SE shavers. The hollow under my jaw just before my chin, on the other hand seems a bit trickier with the shavette. And the chin itself, of course, continues to be the devil's playground no matter what I shave with. Still, got better results this morning going with XTG and diagonal ATG strokes along the chin as per Andrew's
@Linuxguile suggestion. Onward and upward!
Overall, very happy with the shave
8 down, 92 to go… (sit down, Helga!)
