Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Trouble Maker - Splash
Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Gothique - Eau de Parfum

Well this blade is now testing my technique and pressure management. I managed a DFS with no irritation, but the blade is definitely past its prime.
Just when I think the boar stank is subsiding, it comes back with a vengeance. Are there trapped pockets of stench hiding in this knot? What is going on?
The line up today was pleasant. Trouble Maker and Fougère Gothique are both earthy, smokey, and excellent.
Does that seem low? I do a 20-30 second load and I get enough lather for at least 2 passes. Even at that it still takes a couple minutes to dial in properly.
