    Another good one. This blade is holding on well enough as long as my lather is wet and my angle is right.

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    It's déja vu all over again.

    Yesterday's 5 min. 2-pass shave was worse than I originally thought. I barely built a lather, raced the razor around, cleaned up and was out. At the time, I thought it was a good (enough) shave, but later, I noticed a bit of irritation on my chin, and my skin did not have that lasting nourished feeling. I thought maybe the razor's edge condition had fallen off. (Couldn't be me!)

    Today's shave rectified all that. I was concerned that the edge took a dive yesterday, but today, I'm back to comfortable BBS goodness. I think the better result is all about the lather. Today I took time to really enjoy a very wet mutton tallow lather and the Moos scent. The razor felt the same way it has all month.
