Brush before shave 16

Wow, got busy goofing around after work and almost forgot to shave. Still not getting the angle just right. Tried even shallower on my second pass. That seemed to work ok on my left side, but not as well on the right. My neck was about the same as usual. Just doesn’t matter what angle I try. So starting to change my pattern a little. WTG on my neck is mostly from the centerline to the sides, but that doesn’t work well for me with a blade wider than a de. Trying to give it a bit of an angle sort of mostly xtg but leaning wtg. I’ll try that for both passes tomorrow. Now the big question, does belly stropping do anything? If so, how many strokes needed?

I do think I got the best lather this month. I loaded the brush pretty quick and painted the pasty soap on my face. Many splashes of water, and whoa! My brush had extra lather after the first pass. I didn’t need to try and load any extra tonight.

Waiting on my code for my LG prize now. I’ve decided to go for soaps I’ve wanted to try, but balked at the price before. For a deluded second thought about getting a straight, but if I’m going to splurge, I want more attractive scales than black plastic. I’ll stick to the Weck for now, and try to continue practicing after this month is over. Maybe try straight Saturdays or Sundays.
