7 second load.

2 pass shave XTG/ATG.

May have been the first beer in a few weeks earlier this evening, lack of sleep from the last few days, or dumb luck, but this was the best shave this month so far. Truly enjoyed the shave, and had good results. No stinging with the aftershave, and near bbs perfection. On a negative note, the blade is developing a concerning level of patina.
