Not my greatest shave. First pass WTG second pass XTG (should have stopped after 1st pass). Yesterday’s irritation evidently was not resolved enough for it to be a good idea to shave again. Still a nice distraction, love to smell good.

I have some shave creams on the way, I’m hoping they will be less drying than these soaps I have been using.
