Feels good to shave with whatever I damn well please. Happy July, all!

Reporting on my shave yesterday, in the sweltering heat. I didn't spend enough time lathering, and the result could have been better – massive feedback with the aftershave.

using a left over smush I had in my bowl from LG, thanks u/snoo-ting
And one more edition of the Lather Games is fought, the results are imminent, and we are in the brief hiatus of freedom before Austere August, Sample Straightember, TabOKtoberfest, and BBS November take us into winter.
Great shave today with the Blutt. I haven't used it in a while and it reminded me what a fantastic razor it is. Smooth and efficient, exactly like a safety razor should shave.
Now, let's djudge those last posts!
