Tuesday 26th March, shave #86

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #5
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

It got late, so I tried a quick 2-pass, skipping the usual XTG on my cheeks. It still feels like an acceptable DFS. It will be interesting to see if the result lasts as long.

366 Shaves in 2024: 87 of 87 = 100%
Steep Angle Shaving Alliance (SASA)
20240324_105836~2.jpg

Razor: Enders Speed Razor + Hendrix Classics & Co 'Regular' Adapter
Blade: Schick Proline B (4 shaves, 9 passes)
Brush: Rudy Vey Irish Bog Oak (Mühle 25mm STF)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Taconic Shave Cream Bay Rum
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum

Shave 4 of 7 with the Enders/Hendrix/Proline combination. A good 3-Pass shave that got me just shy of DFS.
 
Wednesday 27th March, shave #87

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

It goes better when I don't try to beat the clock (like yesterday). I'd call today's shave a very comfortable near-BBS.

I can't fault any of this kit. The things that need further optimisation are beard mapping and technique, neither of which I can buy.

366 shaves in 2024
Shave#87 of 366 remaining 279(100%)

Razor:
Muhle R41
Blade: Personna 74(56)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: TFS Rasozero Barbaccio
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight another Barbaccio shave lathered with the Moka-Express. There is one thing about this soap as opposed to the EJ I just finished and that is that as long as I load heavy I find I can get three full passes from one load. It is almost as if the lather from the EJ dissipated in the brush leading me to have to load light before the final pass. 56th shave with the P74 and that is a full 8 weeks from this blade.
