Thanks! I may look into getting one now.

I've only ever used synthetic brushes (currently using a G5C). How do horse brushes compare?

• Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

• Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

• Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable

• Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime

• Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry

Don't know what I did, but my shave was not the best today. I keep nicking myself on the same spot on the right side of my neck, and I'm not entirely sure why. Typically this doesn't happen. I'll figure it out. Outside of that, the shave was uneventful and easy-going.

Just a 2 pass shave plus a couple clean-up ATG passes on some trouble areas. Overall, a good shave. Jawline still an issue, though.

Was also hoping that my Gillette Slim was going to arrive today, so I guess I'll just have to wait until Monday to give that a chance!

Day 3 in a row of 2 pass shaves. Actually think this resulted in a better shave than yesterday's shave with the mild (+) Henson. Still have one part of my neck that feels like I keep missing (my growth is at an angle, so it seems like I'm missing the right side of my jaw near the end of my natural shaving motion, if that makes any sense). I'll get there eventually. Think I'm going to take tomorrow off, as a Gillette Slim Adjustable I ordered off of eBay should be here Saturday. Don't want to overdo it and ruin my skin before that arrives!
