1st pass WTG, 2nd pass XTG, 3rd pass ATG. My first time shaving ATG in quite some time, motivated by an upcoming respirator fit test. It went pretty well aside from the first swipe on my neck - ouch!! And a few more weepers than usual. Aside from that, a DFS, probably my closest shave since switching to safety razors :)
2 passes on the head, 1 on the neck. A few weepers here and there, I blame nerves.
Now it's 12 days instead of 14 since my last post. Small improvement, but I count it.
Actually my work has brought my energy levels down quite a lot, I look forward to my two weeks of paid leave in mid-June. However, tonight I have the first ever night shift at the hospital - first of 3 in total, but after over 6 months they finally trust me enough to work nights. Despite this being my wish, I am certainly very nervous and am feeling it in my digestive system and my shaky hands. I blame most of the blood spots/weepers on bad technique and going to fast with shaky hands. Otherwise, it was a pretty solid shave!
I picked Neon Sun since it usually helps me to focus on nice things. Such a clean, classic masculine cologne scent. It's also hard to go wrong with Noble Otter, the base is really slick for head shaving. Maybe I should've picked a milder razor, but since I also wanted to shave my neckline (can't seriously commit to the required daily grooming of a circle beard atm, so it's just stubble atm) it seemed like a good choice. Forgot about the neck shave until after already rinsing my brush, so I just applied some soap with wet hands and worked it up with some more water. It definitely helped to see the lines more clearly, but it probably provided less protection that way.
I sure hope I can get back into the habit of regular wetshaving once my vacation period is here. My technique needs serious improvement, I even watched some basic videos in preparation for this shave. Now at least I look good enough for the night shift, off to the gas station and grocery shopping I go...

This is a really nice soap for warm weather, and the citrus doesn't seem to burn my face. Great!

Focused on a shallower angle today. Close and comfortable.
