Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 8th Consecutive / 282nd Overall SOTD Post

Today was a good test of my improved v20 lather-building technique. I acquired Fú Dào second-hand and while the scent is still strong, the soap shows its age in its loss of some hydration. I had to add ~20% more water to help load the desired amount of soap, but once the proto-lather had the right consistency the lather-building was as per normal, and my lather quality was fantastic. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
