The blade was a bit tuggy when going ATG on the sides of the chin along the jaw line, but otherwise performed better than I would expect a 25-shave blade to do. With blade efficiency falling off, I focused on using short, light strokes in an effort to deliver a close shave without irritation. I'm very happy with the results.
Here's the Day 25 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
