Taking some advice to load "like I hate it" I had enough lather to last for three passes. I think I can still do a better job of getting enough water into the first one to create a bit more volume without being sticky. I did a shower shave and short changed the soak to only about 3 minutes, but it didn't seem to make a huge difference at this point. I am very happy thus far with how the brush feels, and I am looking forward to further breaking it in

I pushed things a little further today, still operating on less than a full days stubble. I did a WTG then an ATG pass on my cheeks and jaw line. Probably a little too aggressive on my lower neck and in the concave portion of my chin and I saw a few red spots, but now feeling around I am very happy at the closeness. I have been trying to keep the head of the razor in more contact with the skin, but this is of course harder in my various problem areas.
