June 1st, 2025: Smooooth
This is my 27th straight razor shave. The edge had a little bit of resistance to it, but nowhere near being tuggy. I've mentioned before that this type of feel gives me great shaves with a little bit of work, and today backed up that theory.
I do plan on participating in the Lather Games, but I'm not sure if I'll meet 50% participation. May was the busiest month I've had in recent memory, and I have no clue what June has in store for me.
Since I started tracking my shaves with the Shaving Data System I've used straight razors 54% of the time, DE's 30%, and cartridges 16%. I started tracking right around the same time I started using straight razors, so all of my straight razors shaves are accounted for in those stats.
