2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
When I started the shave, I was thinking about how easy it has become to dial in a very hydrated lather, but one with a lot of cushion, using this soap base and this brush. I don't think today's lather was much different from other days, however, my shave today was more comfortable than it has been for the last few days. I was unaware of much tugging, but was aware that the edge I like has gone. Yeah, not the closest shave I can produce, but smooth, comfortable, and free of irritation. No complaints here. I doubt it will happen, but a shave like this for the next ten days would be just fine by me.
Again, nothing to see on the blade edge front. Today's photo is similar to the previous few days. Really looking forward to the new microscope. The little LiPO battery in this cheap unit is losing its ability to maintain a charge. I suspect that I can run the scope on USB power, but I really like the simplicity of my WiFi/iPad setup.
