366 shaves in 2024
Shave#126 of 366 remaining 240(100%)

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (9)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight was the final 3017 shave of the week. I took my time with the shave tonight, no rushing and I must say it paid off. With only 3 passes and no clean ups I managed to get a BBS, which was rather unexpected after 9 shaves. I guess I'll keep on using the Rocca if it can keep performing.

Sunday 5th May, shave #126

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: Rockwell 6S R5, Ti Handle, Wilkinson #5
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive day again. I got an excellent lather, and an easy near-BBS. Modern Wilkinson blades are only average for me, but the Rockwell gets a comfortable shave out of them.

:badger:I saw a badger in the evening, after dark. It emerged cautiously under a fence, from tree cover. It was going to cross the road, saw me, and went back.

21/61 done
