Man, today's shave felt great! I stared with a new blade pulled randomly from the sample bag. I pulled out something with Cyrillic writing on it. First shave was aggressively sharp but just as smooth. That was a fresh tuck, too. I have 4-1/2 blades left. The first shave felt nicer than the Parker, the those tend to need a warmup shave before they're ready.
I messed with angles today. I did the north/ south passes. Then I started swooping the opposite direction of the grain, much how you'd sweep dust from a corner. That really did the trick! Took my shave from good enough to the step below DFS. Not perfect yet, but I think I have a good foundation to work with.
I also used some of my Barberry Coast bay rum cream. I haven't used that since the middle of August. It felt nice to whip it up into a fluffy lather. And some Co9T to end the shave. It was a bay rum day because, well, because I like bay rum.
I hope your days went just as well. 91 left!
