Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
#Monthofweckoning

Not much to say. I tried another slurry lather along with my normal 2-pass pattern, but no dawdling. 10 minutes from start to EdP. Very comfortable.

I added another microscope shot to the album. This shows that the edge is pretty much the same. I will say that it is getting more difficult by the day to get a good focus point near the apex. That generally happens when the edge is not uniform. I continue to think that I feel slightly less sharpness when shaving.

I’m not complaining about my software choice, but I am a bit jealous of your SV AA :)

  As you know, I did this to celebrate a correlation of 70th anniversaries. However, using SV daily only improves my appreciation for its quality. Even though I feel like I’m approaching Avogadro’s number of soaps, and should use them all, I’m seriously considering just staying with 70th until it is done.

    That’s my “problem” too, so many nice soaps, and all of them take forever to use up :D

    That’s 75% of u/EldrormR’s Big Brain Bowl Bonanza. You’ll need that [REDACTED] brush to speed things up ;)
    
    (useless side musing: Avogadro’s number of soaps would weigh in at about 60 Yg, while Earth’s total biomass comes to 3 Eg. It’s time to get that space exploration going, I want space tallow)

    I may have exaggerated a little bit.

    I love that thing. Can’t wait to learn the details.
