Reflecting on this year, I think the thing that I enjoyed the most was how my honing came on. I can now consistently get lovely edges, across an array of different hones, natural and synthetic.
I tried a couple of new things, and the one that I enjoyed the most was my Zenith Unbleached Boar. That thing is just a delight to use.
Some other stats from the year for me.
311 shaves: almost all straight razors shaves. Two travel shaves with Fakelite Slant and one with my Wunderbar just to keep my hand in.
Most used grind: half hollow
Most used razor: Koraat 14 2.0 Bellied Hollow
Most used soap: Eufros (28%!)
Most used brush: Boar
Most used aftershave: Myrsol
In 2025, I am comitting to my first GRUYERE, and am determined to continue to focus on using what I have, including getting the most out of my coticules.
What about you? Highlights from 2024? Things you learned? Resolutions for 2025?
I hope that all the upstanding brothers here have a happy and fulfilling 2025!
