After 2 hours of lawn mowing and a nice long shower, my 3 day beard was prepped.
Because it was an afternoon shave and the kids weren't in bed yet I got to crank some music, and that always improves the shaving experience.
The stars seemed to align for this shave. Everything was perfect.
Three passes with a fantastic Uber, and I'm absolute BBS. Honestly I cant remember any shaves better than this one.
When I kissed my 6 year old daughter Lilly goodnight a few minutes ago, she kissed my cheek and said I felt like a girl. I'll take that as a compliment

Have a fantastic week Gentlemen.
Thanks for all the great posts and pics
