    Daily challenge: I lathered in 1m03.9s. I started with a dry brush and started the timer at the same time that I turned on the tap water. I was lucky to be using a soap which is likely designed with speed in mind. It doesn’t need much water, and it’s pretty much ready to go straight after you load your brush. I stopped the timer after I put the brush down on the counter before starting my first pass.

    Great shave from this razor! It felt really good today. I think I stropped it 20 times on linen and 70+ times on leather after using it last time, and I think the extra stropping helps. Only time will tell.
