366 shaves in 2024
Shave#128 of 366 remaining 238(100%)

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (11)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight the first 3017 shave of the week saw me happily lather away with the Moka-Express and I managed to get the perfect consistency. The shave wasn't rushed like yesterday and it showed in the results. My neck, although not a BBS finish was smoother than yesterday and I was very pleased with it

Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere

Final shave on this blade. A comfortable DFS, but I'm looking forward to a change for the second week.

Ok, another carbon copy of last night's shave with my 3017 soap and the Rocca. Look I lathered it and after creating a ton of lather I just shaved away the stubble. It was a perfectly good shave though when I was finished my neck wasn't quite as smooth as yesterday, but still perfectly acceptable.

Wednesday 8th May, shave #129

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Nivea Men Shaving Creme
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Proraso Sensitive Balm

Loaded a fresh Astra for the second week. This Nivea cream has excellent performance and an irritation-free post-shave. I wish I'd got more than one spare now, while it was £2 a tube. Got an easy near-BBS.
