2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
I like the scent of Stag. Apparently, there are people who don't! As unbelievable as this is, I wonder if the same people who don't like Stag, don't like Tabac. Not enjoying the scent of Tabac is, of course, heresy, but maybe there's a gene, or something, missing in those who are unable to appreciate these fine aromas.
Only the third use of the blade, and the edge photo does not show any appreciable wear. I've figured out a way to get more magnification out of my microscope. This modification makes it incredibly hard to get sharp focus, but I'm going to work with it.
The brush continues to do its thing. Yeah, it smells a little, but honestly, I was expecting so much worse. I had the same performance as yesterday; great lather for the first pass and, a thinner, quite usable lather for the second pass. I assume this will change as the brush breaks in, but I also don't mind going back to the puck if needed.
