Great shave. The blade is definitely losing some sharpness, but as long as I listen carefully and mind my angles I still get very close results.
This tub is starting to show a little bit of the bottom through the middle of the soap. Will I have a ring of death by month's end?

Great 3 pass shave. I didn't do any additional pickup/cleanup strokes on the fat parts of my neck because it didn't feel like it needed any more work. A couple hours after the shave my opinion changed a bit -- some cleanup work would have made a difference, but this is still a very very nice close shave. No regrets.
I'm in love with the Excelsior soap base. So good.
