Had a great example of this today. It really shouldn't have been
great, but it was.
I was tired (the dog got me up early). I was trying a new blade I hadn't used before, or heard good things about (Bolzano). I used nothing fancy. The soap was my cup of left overs. No special preshave treatment, just washing before each pass.

The 6S was on plate 5. The lather was fantastic. I was enjoying the shave so much that I went for a totally unnecessary 3rd pass. Usually a big no for me.
It was probably the best shave I've had. Certainly the best I can remember. No irritation, no burn, no cuts, no stubble left anywhere. Truly BBS, even on my neck, and so comfortable that it feels like I haven't shaved.
Just one of those lucky days I guess.
And, worst of all, I can't post it in the SOTD thread as I did a silly April Fool's post...
