I was on autopilot today and was done with the shave before I realized it. And I had yet another BBS, comfortable, no drama shave. The last couple of days, I have noticed stubble reforming earlier in the day than I would normally, but I can't help but rate these shaves excellent. By this time in the month I fully expected to change from my "ignore the grain" 2-pass pattern to my more traditional 3-pass pattern. I need practice on the latter, so I'm hoping that tomorrow's microscope image shows some wear.
I'm absolutely loving the Darkwing base. This is my only Chicago Grooming soap, and I fully intend to remedy that.
