Day 24, 77.4% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Nivea Men Shaving Creme
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Ti Handle, Astra SP #3
Razor: GC1.05 SB, Al Handle, Nacet #8
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

I gave the Game Changer 1.05 plate another test drive, with a well-used Nacet. I wouldn't call it aggressive — it's very effective, but well-behaved. I could probably get away with using it every day, if I was careful.

The .84 came along for backup, but only got used for an ATG neck pass.
