Day 6: Switched to WTG / XTG to let the skin recover a bit. Today I did a couple of weigh-ins to see how much soap I was losing to the tub rinshing after a shave. Post-shave (after rinse) yesterday was 137.4g and post-shave (before rinse) was 134.1g. After rinsing today, it weighed in at 130.6g. I lost more soap to rinsing than I used in the shave. Today was the lightest I've loaded all month, and I struggled to build an adequate lather for the second pass; I thought about going back to the tub for a few swirls, but didn't.
Here is an album that I am going to continue uploading to throughout the month to show progress of the brush. I weighed the tub again post-shave today and it was 137.4, a difference from yesterdays's post-shave of 11.3g... I'm not sure this tub will make it to the end of the month...
