Shave #361 of 365. Coasting to the finish.
Finished off a scrap of soap left in this tub for ages, soaked it overnight and got a really fantastic lather off the Zenith boar. Had enough lather to shave the whole block. Pure indulgent luxury.

Shave#360 of 365 (100% 5 left)
Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette Sharpedge(12)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: EJ Sandalwood
A/S: Proraso Green
Post Shave: Proraso Green Balm, Nivea Hyaluron Gel
Tonight yet another EJ Sandalwood shave again lathered with the Moka-Express. Loaded up the Rocca with my old friend, the Gillette Sharpedge for its 12th use. At least my eyes weren't watering from the scent of menthol tonight and it was good to get back to the familiarity of the soap I have been using for soooooooo long. The shave was good again though not BBS good. I am so looking forward to the end of this soap.

Wednesday 27th December, shave #361

Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #5

This makes me wonder how many shaves I had, I shave every other day usually but often have to slip one shave in between. Hm... I should mark my shaves on the tiles of the bathroom, the lady for sure will understand.

Shave #362 of 365. The end is in sight, but it isn't over yet.
Nice vetiver soap today. Stirling's vetiver put me off the scent for years, it was kind of medismal in scent, but this vetiver has a nice smokey charcoaly scent to it.
@awk_m4 You're going to love that unbleached Zenith when it gets soft. @Iridian if you keep the toilet clean you can probably get away with whatever you want around the sink. @Mr Konrad Dundee Beautiful new razor there. It's a real favorite of mine. @Roedeer You're going to join us next year right? It's a real nail biter year with 366 shaves. Not to be missed.
