Not a bad shave, as every day goes I learned something new, or at least was able to see in practice what people recommend constantly. I concentrated on blade angle today and keeping the spine as close to the skin, and when successful, it was very comfortable. A few times, in difficult areas, the angle got away from me. I generally was able to tell when that happened, though there were a few spots that the alum let me know were not quite right. One nick, I managed to barely catch my right earlobe. Wasn't too bad of a bleeder, looked more like I had my ear pierced. Ended up with a DFS for the most part, with a couple of my trouble spots at what I would consider a CCS. I'm happy to be making progress, and am not discouraged in the least.
I just got the Lime Castle Forbes in today, and what a pleasure to shave with. It is quite thirsty for a cream.
All in all a great end to a good weekend! Hope it is going well for everyone else!
Nice pic, Josh. I really like the Castle Forbes Lime.
