Last night’s cap-riding, zippy shave

Damp facecloth aka “shave binky
AP ShaveCo Dinosaur G5C 28mm synthetic brush
Pre-shave: warm shower
Lather: ARKO!; face-lathered
Aftershave: Ulm Nom
Post-shave: face wash with shave binky and a drop of hyaluronic acid
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer
Was my shave slower because my blade was tired or because I was overtired? Might find out next time. Still quicker than many before it and quite comfortable. In honor of Modern May, my stubble will grow back in the future.

Friday Modern May shave #12 rated 9.75/10 using:
A fantastic shave from the Merkur 34C that my father gave me as a gift. The KAI blade, with its slightly wider shape, is a perfect match for this razor and noticeably improves the razor's performance for me. The KAI blade provides a neutral blade exposure rather than the negative exposure of virtually every other DE blade. The neutral exposure made it possible to attain a true BBS without undue effort while still providing a shave that felt quite mild.
The two photos below show the blade exposure of the 34C with a "normal" blade (about -0.006") and then the KAI blade (neutral). Quite a difference!
My shave scoring log is found HERE.
Happy shaves everyone
