Shave #133 of 366.
I'll probably get an entirely different shave kit every day for the two weeks that I have this Canadian pass around box. Stuff I've never seen or heard of before.

Very impressive shave today with this adjustable cranked up to nine to tackle a one pass ATG shave.

366 shaves in 2024
Shave#133 of 366 remaining 233(100%)

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (16)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Final 3017 shave of the week with Tabac, and the Moka-Express, fantastic lather as usual. The 16th use of the Sharpedge left me a lot smoother than I was expecting, especially on my neck it was so close to a BBS as to make no difference.

Sunday 12th May, shave #133

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #5
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive Sunday again. I got the usual super-slick lather out of it, with a dash of glycerine.

This always gives the fancier soaps a run for their money. I got an easy near-BBS.
 
A while ago, just after buying this Gillette 195 I decided I didn't like it. It has been listed for sale ever since... I did try it out again during adjustable april and had an enjoyable shave. This morning, I loaded the 195 with a Permasharp blade, set it to 7 and whacked away the stubble with superb comfort and easy. I might have taken a liking for this Fatboy.
