Loaded not quite as much as I did yesterday and it came up a little short. I got to three passes but the last one was awful thin and the first wasn't hydrated enough. The brush has been causing zero irritation to date, and very little stinkyness either. I am happy overall, I think just need to dial in the load and initial lather a bit more, but understand that it still might be a moving target with how new this brush is.

Today was my first true three pass shave, pretty normal results so far. Not a lot of irritation, one small nick in the fold between my bottom lip and chin. I guess one "gem" that I picked up on was not until I really looked at the razor today I didn't notice that the corners of the blade are protected by little guards that cover that portion of the blade. So that explains a bit why I was having little luck using my normal pattern of buffing with that part of a DE razor around my nose and corners of my mouth. Once I see that, and adjusting a little bit more inward on the blade I was able to touch up those areas a bit better.
