Brush before shave 13

I got in my shave a bit earlier today. I tried a more acute angle. It did feel like it glides better on my face, but the neck is still tricky. I have creases at the bottom of my neck that are parallel to my pass direction. I can’t stretch my skin enough to flatten those bits. I’ll work on different angles and try having the blade skewed so only 1 point on the edge passes over those parts at a time. The last few days I’ve spent a lot more time on the lathering. I think I’m getting to about 80-90% of the way to how my lather usually comes out when I bowl lather. I think I’ll find my daughter’s water sprayer. I might get better control adding water that way, compared to dipping the brush in the mug of water. Soap and splash are still great. Nothing new today in the scent post shave. I might go out to mow now while the coolant is still freezing my face.
