This was one of the most difficult shaves I've had in weeks or months. 
By way of experiment, I made it through all three passes without once rubbing my face to check my progress. I did it all from the memory of which areas typically require more work.
So difficult to resist the urge to hunt for stubble.

I used a variation of my new lathering strategy, adding water to the soap puck in the tub until I have enough (lots of!) lather, then transferring it to the floating lather bowl to keep it warm. Before I would have charged the wet brush in the tub, but added more water in the lather bowl.

Results: DFS. The only area that could've used a teeny bit more work was on either side of the tip of my chin.
