Turned up the Schick Adjustable M1 setting a bit higher today and turned down the temperature with a full blast of House of Mammoth Kryptonite (synthetic cooling soap). The higher the M1 setting the less intuitive the angle relative to my other injectors. But an effective and durable BBS was achieved thanks to the Twin II blade. At just over 13 hours a hint of regrowth is presenting on parts of the jawline.

Two new features for this photo:

1. I swapped out one of the three 2700K LED bulbs for a 5000K. Much better colour rendition (though not perfect).
   
2. I had found a piece of white aluminum flashing in the basement, left over from one of the roofing repairs, about 25"x36". It had a natural smooth bend in it from when it was on a roll, I guess. I thought "Gee, I've got myself a perfectly good cyclorama here. I should try it out tonight". Now I just need more lights and/or reflectors.
   

The alum stick is upside down because that's how I store it. Can't do that with an Omega alum stick. My last stick of this type had come loose and rattled around in the handle, probably from water dripping down and dissolving the alum where it's molded to the interior of handle. Now I also wipe it dry before putting it away.

Oh - and it was a great 3.5-pass shave.
