Sub-par shave today for some reason :( No variables were changed. I just couldn't seem to get a spot under my chin smooth and it's normally not a problem for me. Resorted to using a fair amount of pressure there (I know, I know) and was left with razor burn and stubble. Blade might need a touch-up...
You guys are the funniest of the bunch!
I truly love you all and want to thank everybody for keeping the SOTD alive and kicking.

Have a Great Night~~
First straight shave in 2 months - not terrible, just as good as I've been getting with my DE, but nowhere near as good as I was getting before I moved to a DE - more burn and nicks, and not quite BBS in some areas
Harris near-wedge for first pass, Kraut & Donal "Regina" for touchup pass.
