Tonight's shave, in which the Major got newer.
Warm shower
Catie's Bubbles A Midnight Dreary shaving soap
Proraso Prottetivo pre-shave
Razorock Big Bruce shaving brush
Slightly better no-name stainless steel shaving bowl
Gillette New(er) Type (1930s)
Gillette Platinum (5th use)
1x WTG above the jaw, 1x ATG below the jaw, clean up XTG along + under jaw
Zingari Man Unscented Recovery Splash
8/10. A pretty good shave overall. But the Major is disappointed w/the remaining rough patches under his jawline. He suspects that this is due to the blade having shaved its last. At least no cuts or undue irritation, so no worries.

Great shave again with some light cooling in the LGC. I figure there’s another 5 or 6 shaves left in the tub. Some Stirling refills on the way so I’m glad to make some room! 9.8 today.
