Stinks! The pig ate all possible scents from the soap. I managed to make a nice lather more hydrated than yesterday, (not in purpose). The feel on the face has been a mix of smooth airs with some prickliness, I think that some hard black bristles contribute to this.

There are some photos with the evolution, during the face lather the bristles splay generously but when at rest it returns to its original form, it has a good backbone firm enough to splay without deforming too much.

Today I tried to improve my technic. With the grain shave has been really smooth, but I have had a hard time shaving the stubble under the nose. The second pass (across the grain) has been harsh mainly on the neck, causing me several nicks.

Today I listened to Charles Bradley soulfully performing Black Sabbath's song Changes.
