Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
A #Monthofweckoning

My shave result was excellent, but I had two tiny weepers; one near the right corner of my lips and one under the chin. I think the one under the chin was an angle mistake. The other might have been a bump. Both of these closed during my cold water rinse.

The SV Beta 4.3 base is light and luxurious. It just occurred to me that this will be my longest run with a vegetal base. The vast majority of my soaps are tallow-based.

I've added microscope photos for the edge condition after one shave and after two shaves. I expect changes on the edge to stabilize shortly. When that happens, I won't update the album daily.
