Face remains tender however not actively angry (that was a weird statement). Did two passes. One with grain and one at 45 degrees off of into grain. Mostly went well. Not super comfortable yet but better than when I started.
I can say my neck was one place I've always been concerned about with a straight razor but have hadd the least amount of trouble there of anywhere so far this month.
My glasses sometimes get in the way of the scale. Just a side note. I'm not Velma Dinkley (obsolete Scooby Doo reference) without them but close enough so I will get used to it.
Now, about the new boar. Very little shedding again today. The knot has reduced the amount of lather it just plain eats by quite a large amount. So, progress there.
As always, take care and have a good day
