Really good shave today. Did 2 passes on my face and 3 on my jawline and neck, using 5-4-3 settings on my slim. On my neck I decided to try a different way than normal. Did top-bottom on pass one, bottom-top on pass two, then did right-left on pass three. My hair grows at a diagonal angle (mostly) and I had been trying to match that. Today (and yesterday), I decided to just go simple. Today’s shave showed me that simple might be the right answer. I’ll give this another go next time too. Probably won’t shave tomorrow for a break before AA.
