Razor and blade. Second run with the Minora. Good blade although I had the impression that the pairing with the Blackbird made it feel a little harsher. Still comfortable but not smooth.

Enjoy your shave!

366 shaves in 2024
Shave#136 of 366 remaining 230(100%)

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (19)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight a carbon copy of last nights shave and by the looks of it the Tabac is taking a bit of a beating. I can see the level of the soap going down and if I am not halfway through already it I should be soon. The shave went well though my neck felt a little rougher than last night not sure if the blade is losing steam, but I will have to keep an eye on it.

366 Shaves in 2024: 136 of 136 = 100%
20240511_141133~2.jpg

Razor: Colonial Razors The General V2 (Timeless Crown TRH8 Ti Handle)
Blade: Schick Proline P (15 shaves, 30 passes and retired)
Brush: Wald A1 Nimbus Bloodline Synthetic Fan
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Tallow + Steel Hokkaido
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal

Hard to stop using The General V2. It's that good. A daily driver in all respects.

Superb shave!
 
Another excellent shave from gear randomly assembled from the Great Canadian Pass around box.

That's a Slim Twist, isn't it? I had the use of one in the mid-1970s, but I only shaved once a week back then. I thought it was hopelessly mild, and preferred taking my chances of getting cut with the Old Type.

As a 366er, maybe I should dredge up a user-grade Slim Twist for a rematch.
