Progress continues. Today was the first day that I was able to get a full BBS with the Weck. Frankly, I very rarely go for a BBS shave with a DE, which I'm much more comfortable with, because the extra irritation isn't usually worth it for me. But it was just working with the Weck today, so here I am.

I started to notice the faintest amount of dragging from the blade despite having a superb lather, which makes me nervous given that there are 13 shaves remaining. I did notice a few days ago that the shave has started to become much more dependent on a quality lather to be smooth, so we're definitely seeing the impact of the blade dulling.
