    Another very nice 2.5 pass shave. Now I'm wondering if I can go straight to ATG using other types of razors :-)

    This has cut down the amount of time it takes me to do a straight razor shave which is a nice bonus.

    I have 3 tubs of Tusk and I'd like to kill one or two of them to make room for other soap bases. This 30mm knot really helps with that mission, I think!

    • I worked out a 2-pass pattern for straights that I then started using for safety razors as well. The trick, for me was in recognizing that I can comfortably combine WTG/XTG in one pass and XTG/ATG in another. For AA I’ve gone back to 3-pass shaves. I’ve used 2-pass for so long I now have to be mindful of getting a result that’s too close.

    • Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
    • Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap

    Blade feels like it might be starting to tug a little bit, but still good. This brush is getting softer, but still needs a lot of soap.
