Terrific two pass shave with the Lunawerk. I can always depend on the Mem for a cushioning and smooth lather that helps me feel confident in my technique. While not as good as last week's groundbreaking shave, today's shave was terrific and almost as good. I think I may have turned a corner.

Juneteenth commemorates the day when slaves in Texas finally received official notification by Union General Gordon Granger in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. What a great shave to start such a day. Thanks Max. Thanks Otto Busch.
