I myself put hagakure into a specific part of my rotation that feels natural of its usage. Specifically, during opener; and before my second higanbana application there is usually around 14 seconds before it needs to reapply. I usually also just get my 2nd sen at that point as well. At that point it feels great to pop Hagakure at that point. Takes about 10-12 seconds to pop a shifu and partial jinpu combo to guarantee a full potency dot reaplication.
