Oh my goodness, you're all into March?!?

Much love for my restrainers! I am going unfettered in 2024 for a few reasons. I couldn't make it... More accurately I didn't want to put in the energy.

Cheering you all on. Keep up the good work! Enjoy what you have!!!
 
Day 4, 12.9% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Ti Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Back to MWF again for Monday. I let the Game Changer autopilot do most of the work, for a very easy DFS.

Still can't decide whether the Ti or Al version of the Windrose 85mm handle suits me best, but that's fine-tuning.

Get well soon, @Bsamps.

Notes:

Summary. Beautiful gear for beautiful results. A superb shave. Maybe my forever combination if pressed to choose. Compared to earlier shaves with the GSB this was the best I’ve yet.
