Very nice shave.
Before going in to shave for the last time this year, I want to thank you all for DecemBoar. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I even added a second boar brush to the shelf this month—it will not be the last one.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and stay safe!

Last night’s pleasant shave
RazoRock Game Changer 0.68OC
Cloud Bruce Lee (1)
Damp facecloth aka “shave binky”
Ω 10048 28mm boar brush
Pre-shave: Al’s layering method more or less
Lather: Wee Babby siavon à raser, bowl-loaded; face-lathered
Aftershave: Olm Nom
Post-shave: warm shower
and a drop of hyaluronic acid and a drop of glycerin
Post-shave: Equate moisturizer
Brush was only soaked for a few minutes while I brushed my teeth. Still very soft. Didn’t press enough soap into my loading bowl and didn’t load enough on my brush. The result was a lack of closeness, but the shave was still very comfortable. Even the aftershave agreed. More soap next time, though.

DecemBOAR ‘24 #30
Zenith A26 unbleached boar
La Toja stick soap
YUMA and Gillette super platinum.
Face lathered La Toja ….wet face and rubbed a good layer of soap on then went to work with the Zenith. Great, rich lather.
Enjoyed the YUMA shave experience so much yesterday that I’ve stuck with it today, just to check that it really is a Jedi level razor….yep….so smooth, nimble, efficient. One of the best.

DecemBOAR shave #15 (final one) rated 9.5/10 using:
I loaded a fresh Derby Premium into my Lupo 72 in my quest to get to know this new razor. The blade was a little harsher than I am used to. I did have a few weepers on my mustache area. I think I must do a better job ensuring that I use a light touch with the Lupo 72. I gave the shave an 8/10 on the irritation axis because of the nibbles. Closeness remains the Lupo 72's strong suit for me, especially with a fresh blade. I may have added a little too much water to my lather, which may have ever so slightly interfered with the soap's slickness.
Today was my first use of the Stirling Glacial unscented balm. I really love these balms. I was a little afraid of the “Glacial” aspect because of how spicy Stirling’s Glacial Lemon Chill soap was two days ago. I think the balm is slightly less “chilly” than the soap, which I liked.

Happy shaves everyone

Hello friends
Cloudy day. I'm going to end the year with one of my favorite soaps, MdC Fougère, which pairs beautifully with Brut Original. Rocca R94 and GSB (2) make a perfect pair. And I'm back to my first Semogue, the 1305, my old and good friend.
With us, in this last shave of 2024, Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Bill Evans.
