Countdown ... 5

Only 3.81gr of soap was used yesterday so I had to load soap mindless and cover my face with creamed lather. Now, I can see the soap's ring of death.

Now it's a real #unscented shave, without pig stink.

I've made some pretty photos of bristles and hope I have more time to write up about hair breaking tomorrow. All brown strands are broken, there're some thicker black ones broken and some that have begun to break in, which makes me think that it will need more than 31 shaves to break fully.

I'm amazed at how wonderful performs the micromatic with a GEMPTFE blade with 26 shaves, it has lost some cut keenness but it continues to be smooth and gives close shaves.
