I interrupt my regularly scheduled programming to bring you the Festival of Featherweights! Please allow the Mardi Gras like atmosphere to wash over you! 

A moderately adequate two pass shave. No real issues with the first pass, while I got a bit of irritation from the second pass. I struggled a bit in my most challenging area, that which is below the ends of the mustache and above the chin. The whiskers there are the toughest, while the skin is a bit rough. Surprisingly, ATG on my mustache went well. I think I still need to get comfortable with a proper angle. The top cap to me seems so flat. Even if I try to ride the cap, there is still the angular safety bar that doesn't seem to slide the smoothest across my skin.

No issues face lathering the Proraso soap and even thought the Vulfix brush is small, I would have had enough lather for a third pass. However, post shave I really noticed today that the soap left my skin very dry.

On to day two of the Festival of Featherweights!

I hope you have success in this endeavor my friend.
