3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Nice shave today. I need to work on my efficiency. It took a full 22 minutes to do this 3-pass shave including cleanup. I think prep and post-shave activities can be made more efficient. No effect that I can feel with not stropping the blade, but it is early.

I tried riding the cap on the 2nd and 3rd passes. I don’t recommend it. No irritation, but lots of weepers. A more “natural” angle works a lot better for me.

- Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave
I am sort of surprised that this time breaking in a brand new boar brush that it is not eating lather or stinking all that much. It is soft, but also can tell there is some upside down hairs scattered which tends to be expected with Omega made boar brushes. Weck felt okay today again. I am not getting the closest shaves, but they are at least comfortable and acceptable for that. Still experimenting with what type of lather consistency works best for me. One tiny little weeper, but getting just a little better each day.
