Hot shower, just did WTG and XTG passes with:

Dovo 5/8
Marvy soap

Good: Didn't cut or nick myself at all!

Bad: Even though I showered, kept my face wet, and reapplied lather, my chin whiskers were tough to shave. Not sure if it's the blade or my pre-shave regimen.

Also, I wonder if my water is too hard to support a good lather with the Marvy -- I love the smell, but the lather just disappears too fast. Perhaps I just used too much water?
