    Settling in nicely, the boar has backed off eating the soap at this point leaving plenty for multiple passes from one loading. The ends are splitting nicely, still a long way to go but it's coming along well.

    Hope everyone has a cracking day.

    Cheers

    Straight shave number six and I think maybe it’s starting to feel more comfortable. Maybe? I experimented with XTG and ATG on my chin today as I continue to figure out how to get that as smooth (or at least close to it) as my cheeks and did succeed in getting it smoother than usual, but I also got a couple weepers…

    First sighting of split tips on the brush today and it’s almost holding enough lather for two passes now. Just a small reload needed today before during pass two.

    Made the shift to a 6:30am shave today after shaving at about 10pm last night - I was nervous, but, it was by far my best shave thus far. I am learning. I have paid much more attention to using the heel, middle, and toe (which means I'm controlling where the non-used part is much better) and, along the curved parts I'm making sure not to try and curve the blade around my face and instead finish the stroke, have the blade detach, adjust, and re-go. It's been helpful. I also heard u/Zimora's voice (well, voice via text message because do any of us really know each other?) say "Don't chase BBS" as I was very tempted to chase BBS and that probably prevented me from overdoing it and cutting myself. So, all in all, improvements. Let's go.

    Brush pics in album is breaking in very nicely! It's super low density and that's my only complaint, otherwise it's a very pleasant experience.

    Big advantage of a morning shave is I get to smell Everett all day long - so nice.

    Enjoy the day, ladies and gentlemen.

    Edge Condition Album

    Another enjoyable shave. If behavior from this edge follows my pattern with DE blades, I would expect my shaves to begin being slightly less close around one week (tomorrow). I'll take a microscope photo then to see how the edge is doing. Otherwise, going stropless has had no downside so far. All's well at the moment.

    Last travel den shave today, and tomorrow we take the train back home. It's been great, but I'm looking forward to being home again (and to stropping on a full size strop).

    Lathering is becoming... dare I say pleasant?

    It is still taking a decent amount of time to build a lather, but small signs of the bristles softening are showing. I can’t splay the knot, but it bends a little more. Shave was pretty good. Still not as smooth as a three pass DE shave, but much closer tonight. No burning from the splash! Just the tingleof the coolant. Trying to pay attention to the heel and toe of the blade. I use the toe to maneuver near my ear, but near my goatee, the heel works better. Center of my face I can use the whole edge without much trouble if the lather is slick enough. I have yet to notice much difference in the blade. I suspect when I hone, I’ll just do 8,000 and 12,000; unless there any nicks or dings in the blade.

    Edit- I could only post the album, not the pic. Sorry. Imgur is currently drunk.

    Edit 2- Doing a straight razor shave followed by an hour long workout is a bad idea. My neck is definitely hating me right now.
