A successful two pass shave. Spent a few hours outside raking leaves/pine straw and soaking up the sun, thus had a nice hot shower prior to shaving. Not sure if this was the difference, but had a really smooth shave where I went both XTG/ATG on the second pass. I only swirled Jayaruh #403 about 10 times in each direction and got a more appropriate amount of soap loaded than yesterday. However, I should have hydrated it better on the first pass, as the lather was drying out near the end of the pass.
