366 shaves in 2024
Shave#116 of 366 remaining 250(100%)

Razor:
RR Lupo 95 SB
Blade: GSB (13)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight another 3017 shave with Tabac and other than the scent I am really enjoying using it. It is slick and delivers great shaves, almost everything a good soap should be. This resulted in another excellent shave, but unfortunately the last for the GSB blade as it took an unscheduled trip to the bathroom floor when I was cleaning up.

SV Saturday

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (1)
Brush: Muhle Rocca R94 STF
Soap: SV Opuntia
A/S: CK IN2U
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday Opuntia stepped up with the Rocca set on duty and the fallen GSB was replaced with another Gillette, the 7 O'Clock Sharpedge, another blade which I only have one of. I lathered up and hacked away with the Rocca until I had a BBS. I do find however that the 7 O'Clock Sharpedge is not quite as smooth as the green 7 O'Clock Stainless Steel.
 
Saturday 27th April, shave #118

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I used Cubebe for SV Saturday, and got a fine bowl-lather. Am I about to hit bottom in this tin? SV lasts even better than MWF, I think.

Got a good near-BBS.
