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.
