1/6 SOTD
Return to the FaTip, sort of revisiting the shave yesterday--very similar light- growth, maybe not quite as light as yesterday. This is the 3rd shave on the AstraSP in this razor. Lather was Arko with the black Omega plus a generous dollop of Cremo applied to the face, brushed everything together with a deliberately light hand.
Put on a funk/soul/nu disco mix to accompany the shave.
My plan is to follow through on the strategy I thought I should've employed yesterday--skip the WTG pass, and do XTG and ATG with touchups. The razor is sufficiently aggressive, but the blade feels like it's a little lacking in sharpness for this approach. Still, the XTG pass is successful without any hiccups. ATG is a slightly different story, with a couple weepers appearing in some typical places. Alum has bite, but perhaps not as much as yesterday. Overall I'm happy with the shave, but feel like I'm still a novice with the FaTip and these light-growth shaves are just challenging generally. I think the two-pass method is appropriate and effective for similar circumstances moving forward, hopefully with greater skill I can avoid the weepers. BBS-/DFS+ for today, no sensation of "hot" chin or neck like yesterday.
I moisturize with Hydro Boost, no Thayer's today to keep things gentle.
