Best shave to date. Have not shaved since Thursday, so I had some growth to hack through. Seemed to be a better shave, and I am not sure if it was sue to the denim passes after the leather or changing my angle very slightly. I think that I have been using too shallow of an angle, though now I might have stepped it up too much. Homemade soap did very well, and I included some lather photos. Talking to Holli4 about a Nice little Henckels that is shave ready... Wedgier than what I have been using. Should be a nice switch.
