    Jason is planning to do another LE run in the near future. The "30 DC LE" name is his. I don't mind working with him on a joint project that uses that name, but my LE needs a different name. Jason's work is unique and demonstrates a completely different skill set from mine. Out of respect for his talent and long history, I feel it best to reserve that name for @jtspartan.

    We will come up with something creative for me to use.

    Sunday's Shave
    #SEptember
    #G7DC (day 2)

    PAL Injectomatic
    Personna Blade
    Semogue 820 Boar
    B&M Bay Rum Shaving Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Grand Bay, Bay Rum Aftershave

    Day 2 of the G7DC was fantastic. I'm going to try making the most of this focus, so today I decided I would prioritize minimizing my usual buffing strokes on the residual lather to see if I can improve my shaves. I utilized longer strokes and did not repeat back over un-lathered areas, emphasising on maintaining the proper angle. The end result was a nice surprise. 3 full passes with zero blade buffing provided a better than usual comfortable shave and a near BBS. There was almost no sting from the aftershave and my face/neck feel like I could go back for another shave right now. I will take this result as a notice that I'm most likely needlessly overshaving. I also shortened my brush loading time to around 20 seconds and the lather was much easier to develop today.

    Take that 'ring-o-fire' and stuff it in a collar and tie.

    Drove me to electrics lubed by a talc and paraffin stick.

    A manageable stubble was good.

    It is not new.. Diagnosed over ten years ago, went to PT which helped a little. Insurance lifted the number of sessions. Just recently it has begun to aggravate me more.
