A pretty damn good shave this morning. The soap was stellar, the brush was OK (not broken in yet) and the razor/blade combo was excellent (I forgot how comfortable the Progress is).

That looks awesome! How does it compare to the Dart?

The Brass'Bird is the only blackland product I own (so far!). It would, I think, for sure be heavier than the Dart. Some members, like @never-stop-learning own pretty much everything!

Not everything, by a long shot.

Oops, thought you had both.

Shave # 64

 

[Roedeer]

Ok, this could be a reason.
I'll try to do my WTG pass in neck area with left hand.

If you can get away with it, it would eliminate another variable. I was put off by severe clumsiness, but maybe I should give it another shot.

Meanwhile, Friday 5th Mar, shave #64.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S R3, Astra SP #1
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Friday is a Rockwell day here. Another autopilot DFS.

I tried doing WTG pass on my neck area with left hand, although it was awkward so I switched back to right hand BUT, since I paid more attention to the hair growth direction (left to right in parallel to skin on and around Adam's Apple) I didn't get any weepers and irritation.

It could be a new razor hype or maybe I'm (and you're) on to something, I'll repeat the process again and see if it was my clumsiness and unnecessary haste that was culprit as well.

Shave #65

Saturday 6th Mar, shave #65.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF, bowl-lathered
Brush: Men-U boar
Razors: GC.84 SB, German Personna #5, GC.68 SB, Astra SP #3
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

BBS face and DFS neck again. Liked that Personna better than I remembered, which is just as well, as I have a load of them in the blade stash.

Shave #66. I put a day counter widget on my phone to count the days for me.

If you can get away with it, it would eliminate another variable. I was put off by severe clumsiness, but maybe I should give it another shot.

It was plethora of reasons for that weeper and usual trouble in the neck area :

> Clumsiness
> Laziness
> Less than ideal technique with the razor
> Lack of attention during shave
> Lacking in quality lather

I eliminated the clumsiness and laziness factor today, gave my full attention to the shave and really worked with the lather quality.
This resulted in one of the best shave so far.

Maybe it has to do something with the Karve, IDK.
