As I look at this picture I left out the brush. Stirling tuxedo synthetic was the weapon of choice and it's also my daily driver.

New blade and again it tore me up pretty good. I would guess over 20 red dots. Not sure what it is with these new blades. I think I have some from the previous purchase and gonna try that if so once I run through this cycle.

6/10: Just learned I can shave ATG on neck with a Feather, but minimum 2-day growth required. First 2 passes super smooth CCS+! Pushed a third pass today (one day growth) and caused considerable irritation. Will need to take a couple days off now. I LOVE smell of this new soap!
