New Year’s Eve shave:
Razor: Mühle Rocca R94 Birch bark handle
Blade: Mühle
Brush: Mühle Liscio Black Fibre
Bowl: DSC Ceramic Scuttle
Soap: Southern Witchcrafts- Desairology (Sample)
Post-shave: Osma Alum Block
Fragrance: Byredo- Super Cedar EdP (Sample)

Excellent shave from the Rocca. The Mühle blade is okay, just not a blade I would write home about; glad to bin it today.

I had two weepers on the neck, but that was down to user error… too many passes and I forgot to re-lather. I tried to stop the bleeding with the alum block but had to use the styptic pencil after that didn’t work very well.

Other than that little mishap, I’m very happy with today’s shave; the Rocca is the one to go to for a close shave for me.

Wishing all of you a very happy new year, may all your new year resolutions come to fruition.

The last shave in the year 2023. Here’s hoping we all have a great 2024. This is the third excellent shave with my ATT S-1 and a Wizamet Blade. As usual, I can count on the S-1 to give me a great shave. Today’s brush is the Omega 81052 Boar Brush. Williams was used for the 25th time. A perfect shave. Have a great day and weekend, folks. And Happy New Year!

When you've had a few sub-par shaves in a row and then you really hit a good one. AWESOME.
Goodbye 2023.
