Tonights shave was ok but not perfect. Why you might ask? Well it was not the fault of the lather!! Great mounds of citrusy Lime was wonderful. Was it the razor? The hone? Nope.. All me. Technique was slightly off for whatever reason. The shave gods decided I was geting spoiled soooo average shave...
I strikes me that in the str8 shaving world one of the best things you can learn is that not every shave is perfect. Learning that it's not the razor, the lather, the edge but just me. My angle was not quite right on whatever pass etc. I think after a few years I have hit some kind of "shaving revelation" and not with the perfect shave but just ok....LOL

Two pass shave, without doubt a BBS finish after wiping out two days growth, you always get a far better shave IMO when you dont shave daily.
