• growth: 5 days
• razor: Merx & Co. Solingen-Wald Gamerx (5/8-ish)
• edge: my whole Shapton glass progression from 3k to 0.85 micron with stropping on paste and without, this time without tape
• preshave: regular hair conditioner
• lather: De Vergulde Hand Origineel
• brush: Kruidvat shaving brush
• postshave: Nivea after shave balm sensitive

Shaving with more growth just feels better to me… This is my second time on this edge with this razor. On my old 3k it wouldn’t even take an edge without tape but with my new stone it seems fine. I got a pretty smooth result apart from two small patches that I missed on the second pass.
