That is awesome! I find myself increasingly going back and forth. There is at least a little dark force inside that tries to ignite some RAD - which is usually very mild anyways, but still.
So super that you are able to subside that!
Enjoy,

Still in, todays shave.
MdC/Muhle Mondays!
Muhle Rocca 95 with Q Shave blade, MdC Rose and Muhle XL STF brush
Good Day Gents
Still In GRUME, GRUYERE and 365 Shaves
This is a fabulous trio I look forward to on Mondays. MdC is #1 on my personal list of top tier soaps. I always have to keep adding more water for it to reach it's slickness potential.
It is good to be back home after a nice visit to the Ozark mountains.
Please take care of yourself and each other.

Wonderful shave today! The Ti95 and blade performed very well together. Smooth and comfortable.
The headshave was wonderful as well. I went ATG for the first time and that worked out pretty well. BBS in some places. Yeah!
Great start of the day!

Enjoy your shave!

2023 GRUYERE #49 - Still in
March 2023 GRUME #23 - Still in
Date: 03.28.23
Days growth: 4
Head shaver
Razor: 1940's Gillette Tech Razor
Blade: Feather (3)
Brush: Vintage Ever Ready pure badger - original knot
Pre-shave: Hot shower using liquid Dual original on face and head with facial scrubber
Lather: Erasmic soap
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements blue/white
Passes: 2
Post Shave Routine and products:
1 - Hot rinse with microfiber towel X2
2 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
3 - Alum block
4 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
5 - Aftershave - 4711 edt
6 - Balm: Nivea sensitive skin
Time from shower on to dressed and ready: 61 min
NOTES: I added too much water to the lather so I put on the thin lather and then face lathered after reloading the brush. One small nic on the top of the ear bur no big deal. Little to no feedback from the alum or 4711. This is only the 3rd time using the Erasmic soap and realized it smells almost exactly like the 4711 so that is how today's aftershave was selected.
Quality: 9.5/10
Comfort: 9.5/10
Enjoyment: 9.0/10 due to the lather good up
Overall: 9.33/10
Very acceptable shave

I have reserved an unused synthetic brush as a reward for the completion of the first quarter of GRUME, which I'll put into use on the weekend...
No, it's not the brush pictured...

Re-discovered Edwin Jagger soaps and enjoying another Sandalwood puck at the moment. Going through a competition between a croap, Proraso Red and EJ hard puck. Alternating days and sometimes longer, the EJ is winning with every shave. I am always amazed at the performance of this unappreciated line.
Stay strong.
