2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Wonderful shave with a setup made for r/Wetshaving.
A 100% sub-exclusive shave. Very nice! ☺
I only have two setups with which I can do this. The other one is Seaforth! Leather. J33p assures me another is on the way ;)
I’m pretty pumped for the upcoming mutton soap.
As am I! I’m hoping he makes enough of it.

He told me he made some progress while at the Meetup.

This shave started off great, and the difference in how this razor works now compared to my first straight razor shave with it is night and day. Technique really makes a difference!
Unfortunately I had to get the styptic pencil out, but hey… could have been worse. The shave itself is decently close. I haven’t used SW in a while, though I have killed 3 tubs of it in the past. Despite having “loads” of experience with the base, I feel like the lather wasn’t quite dialed in this time.

I had a late start and shaved over lunch break. Last week was 1 emergency room visit (turned out to be non-serious), going drinking with a friend who got laid off, and 4 birthday parties (three of which were mine, but I feel like complaining anyway). I needed a weekend, I got a Monday 🥴
Nice shave, though.

Aging fast 🤣
Tell me about it 🫠
I’m such a lightweight, I feel hung over just reading this.
