I can't say I've gotten completely tired of the Stag just yet even though it's truly better suited for fall weather to me. Strangely enough, my wife and daughter have not made any comments about it either. Our bathroom just reeks of it 24/7 lol.

The brush is really coming into its own with a nice feeling of scrub and no scritch really at all. I can only detect a hint of raw hog stank if I put the brush right up to the sniffer with it splayed out. Pretty good progress for only 10 shaves.

#GEMsofWisdom

So today I could feel the blade start to tug a little bit. I flipped the blade, but I don't think that has anything to do with it so I might try palm stropping tomorrow. I've really dialed in the the best way to grip and shave with this razor though. In the words of our dearly departed Ruds (RIP), this has really become a "cruise control" razor for me. Despite the slight tugging a BBS was achieved.
