Other
Shaving Other: Face Prep Mild cleanser begin shower. 45-60 sec HOT water end shower 20-30 sec splash begin shave.
Shaving Other: Lather Prep Lather building directly on face.
Shaving Other: Technique (Feather WTG)/(DE 45XTG/ATG Cleanup)

Note: the numbers at the end of a product are ratings 4/5 or 3+/5, etc.


Result: Much better. 4.5/5.0 even though I had a tiny weeper open up from yesterday's shave. I can't fault this shave for that. I'm using the TGQ small pucks like a shave stick. Wet the puck for a while then wet the face and apply the soap directly to the face. Follow up with a great face lathering.
