A successful two and a half pass shave. I've mostly dialed in my neck to two passes (WTG/ATG). Where I've previously struggled ATG on my chin area and mustache, its really my cheeks where I find the ATG causes irritation. Continuing to improve my face lathering technique by ensuring I add enough water prior to the first pass. Using an electric kettle to heat up a small amount of water to soak my natural hair brushes in and for dipping the tips to add hydration to the lather. A bit of the best of both worlds!
