Greetings, Everyone! We were out and about before sunrise till after sundown yesterday and upon return I didn't have the energy for a shave. My streak ended at 53 days. I begin anew at Day 1! 

I carried over Triceratops Thursday to combine with MWF "Fat" Friday. I was wondering how the shave would go considering two days growth, the ultra light razor and a blade on it's 8th use. As I progressed through all three passes, it was going well so I decided to chase the shave and ended with the closest, least irritating shave since beginning wet shaving. The day's rest for my skin allowed me to be super aggressive, in combination with the light razor that actually ends up allowing me to better regulate the amount of desired pressure. Face lathering with MWF and Jayaruh #403 went very well! I did a better job of working enough water into the lather so it didn't dry out during the pass.

Since watching Dave in KY's videos, I've started to use the j-hook technique under my left jawline and on a portion of my neck. A couple of times the Triceratops unscrewed itself, but I caught it before anything bad happened. Just something I'll have to pay attention to in the future.

Hope everybody has a great weekend!
