    I see you used the same soap(Hendrix)that @wristwatchb promoted to me in his "thoughtful and silly" reply to my Bill Neumann/Jeeves dilemma.

    Todays shave was because the wife wouldn't let me go any further, than 4 days, without a shave. I didn't complain. I had a very smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. Well built razor.

    Razor- F.W.E.(F.W.Engels) "Special"
    Brush- RazoRock 400. WD High Mountain Badger
    Soap- Arko/Sandalwood Scented
    Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. The Admiral Decanter. (The Wife Requested It)

    You rushed your shave? Brings me back to a funny story from my college years where my roommate and his parents stayed with us the night before we all would go watch the reenactment of the "Shot Heard Round The World"(on the Lexington(MA)Battlegreen. My roommates parents were stunned to learn we had to leave so early(the event began at 6 AM). His dad said to my Mom..."I have one question-do I have time to shave first??"

    I think I'm getting my energy back some from this cold, so I figure I'll put it to the test with a soap&brush shave. My loading might not be as successful as it is when I am healthy though. We shall see). But thanks. :)

    This is the kind of shave you get when you realize you don’t know shit about your Jnat! Lol it was actually a good shave considering I shaved yesterday. I got BBS in many areas but I did miss a few spots. I find this is normal when you don’t lay the blade completely flat. This razor performed wonderfully considering the last time I used it. I learned that there is no set progression when using my Ozuku and I still need a lot of R&D on it. I knew it wasn’t the razor because it took a synthetic edge wonderfully. This razor taught me a whole lot and I learned I can get a hell of a lot sharper than I normally do. Due to the fact that my Ozuku is extremely hard, time is key! Strokes cannot be counted, I had to rely on my loupe and feel the stone was giving me. I still feel like I can go a lot sharper with more time.
