AA Day 9! Did a 3 pass shaves today. Everything went smoothly. I'm a bowl latherer usually, but I decided to try /u/sgrddy's slurry method. Not bad, honestly. I put a chunk of soap in my bowl, then loaded for 10 seconds. No complaints. I do think I prefer my typical way, but this was a good way to get a quick lather for the morning. I'll try it again tomorrow.
