Wonderful shave. Closeness places it at the bottom end of what I would call "good", but everything else was a joy.

If delivery estimates hold, I'll receive the new microscope tomorrow afternoon. I'll try to send this microscope off with a bit of a media blitz for tomorrow morning's shave.

I felt a little more tug from the blade today, and there was the feeling of it bouncing over stubble instead of cutting it. I think that if I were to chase this, irritation would result. I don't want to go into September having to accommodate irritation left over from August.

I'm enjoyed Stag Tuesday. I hope those on the regular SOTD thread are reveling in the old man Stank® of Tabac.
