For the most part, looks like I've got the hang of shaving with a Gen I Feather Weight. A successful two pass shave left me feeling much more confident with this razor. Much more of a smooth shave today. One more day to go until the end of this festival.

I had a real good experience face lathering Arko. While it's a shaving soap that finds itself the butt of bathroom jokes, I find it produces a rather nice lather. I know some are not please with the scent, but I'm OK with it.

The Omega 49 with two rubber o-rings in place has just the right amount of backbone. It always was a good brush for painting, but now it does the job splayed out. Below is an image of the brush in post shave just after towel stropping.
