The other night I took one of my blades dulled on glass and started my progression. I did Botan, Tnejou, mejiro and tomo and finished on plain water. Did a combination of circles and x strokes, and did not bother at all with a count. I went by feel, and when I could feel the strokes smooth out I would transition to the next slurry.
All in all I did the whole thing in about an hour, and the HHT result was very promising 4 to 4+. The shave Tuesday morning was superb! Keen and smooth, just the way I like them. This morning my cheeks were still pretty smooth. I am noticing a very light stubble as I write this. I am very pleased with my first attempt at this, and I am very excited to see how it goes with some more practice.
