WOW this shave was close! Didn't think it was gonna be this smooth while I was shaving, but there you go. It wasn't the most comfortable shave, really thought I was gonna feel like raw hamburger afterwards, but my face actually feels great, no redness, and just incredibly close. Can't argue with the results! Today was really about the brush, though. I bought this handle way back, finally got it knotted with a 30mm Tip from TurnNShave, and man is it a BEAST. This thing eats soap like nobody's business. But the face feel is wonderful, and it's such a wide fan that I don't even really need to splay it much; just paint vigorously back and forth. I ended up with a thin lather because I didn't want to use the amount of product that I'd have to with a knot like this, but I was totally fine with that. This knot is just badass.

SOTD 4.19.2020
Two-day’s stubble
Hot water splash
Grooming Dept. moisturizing pre-shave, Rainforest
Feather Hi-Stainless (4)
RazorRock GameChanger, OC .84
M&F 2XL
Zingari Man “The Magician”
Cera Ve Daily Moisturizing Lotion

First go-around with the GC OC .84. Used a steep angle, riding the comb, combined with a very light touch, and using feedback to oh so slightly adjust pressure and angle. Three passes, WTG, XTG, ATG. Result was BBS, with only a tiny weeper on the neck. Hey, I think I’m actually getting the hang of this. Happy shaving to all, from a distance!
