- Lather: Stirling Soap Company – I, Rich Moose (sub-exclusive sheep tallow)

I changed the brush today, but was too lazy to update the SOTD pic.
First double blind test today, I randomly drew a razor with the mystery marks invisible. This is to avoid developing confirmation bias after thinking yesterday that I prefer the 1 mark razor: by using one random razor today and its sibling the next day for a few days, I’ll know that I actually can distinguish them by edge feel if I guess right more often than not.
So today’s mystery edge felt beautifully smooth and sharp like the 1 mark, I’m logging that answer. After tomorrow’s shave with the other edge, I’ll have a chance to change my mind before checking whether I guessed right.
Oh the suspense.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
After yesterday’s shave with the WoolfBlades razor, this Escher edge felt comfortable but a little unrefined. Comfort and closeness were on-point, though.
