An effortlessly enjoyable 3 pass shave, today.
The dial down test from last time seemed to have done the job at the time, but the stubble returned far soone than usual, , so I reverted back to sticking to setting 7 for all 3 passes and just made sure to take my time and be completely focused on technique and not go overboard on those problem spots.
The Glycerin soap and Stirling barbershop combo made for an effortless glide and loads of protection on all 3 passes without any post shave issues.
Couldn't have asked for better, really.
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend.
