🪒🗓️365 Shaves 2023🗓️🪒

[tjsgarden]

I have mainly been using the Nacet as my main fav and the Gillette Green 7 O’Clock as my 2nd fav

Nacets were my first "favorite" blade.
True story...when I bought the Feather DX razor from a fellow B&Ber he sent me a 5 pack of Gillette 7 O'Clocks gratis. It was a pleasant surprise from @Kealon7. I 'll have to try them at the end of OBIF challenge.
Right now, I'm getting used to the Feather Artist Club Pro blade and wondering if it will last the month of February.

One Blade in February Challenge

Razor: Muhle R89 Rosegold
Blade: Personna Med-Prep(7)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band badger
Soap: EJ Limes and Pomegranate

Tonight the EJ was back in an attempt to increase the size of the hole in it. My first attempt at loading was a little watery so once again I had to return to the puck to get a good lather. It is hard to guage whether or not you have enough soap to make a good lather, although it may look like enough when you are loading that is not always the case when it reaches your face. I also find the lather for the final pass is not thick enough and I need a quick reload to make it acceptable.
The result tonight though, for all my fussing with the soap ended in a near BBS so it was a good result in the end.

Will be fun to hear what ya think the old YMMV is always fun when its one loves em one is NO WAY and a pass learned that quick and why now you can get an idea but just need to use all this stuff on ones own face for sure

 

[Dobric]

Nacet is also my favourite blade, and second best is 7'Oclock Green Permasharp Stainless (Indian, if I'm not mistaken)
Gillette Permasharp is IMO same as Nacet, I felt no difference

Shave 39/39 of 365
EJ3One6
Gillette 7O'clock Yellow (3)
Simpson T3
TOBS Pepermint
Nivea 2in1 AS
TOBS loves water, lather just keep on growing and growing, but stays dense.
Shave was good, 2½ passes BBS, no nicks or iritation, but blade still feels rough.

Tuesday 7th February, shave #38

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #8
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

Final day of SV70 week. Time got a bit short, so I had an autopilot shave plus tidy-ups, for a respectable DFS.

I'll probably use a Beta 4.3 SV next, and keep the other variables about the same.

I am going to start shaving in the evening for a while.

I started to shave in the evening while I was still working. The invention of the "safety" razor was a good one ✓, but even after that, you know exactly where you are heading with "shave" plus "beat the clock" in the same sentence.

The Mach 3 was allegedly designed to provide an out-of-the-box autopilot-like experience, and fair play to them.

It's a reasonably idiot-proof shave, but it's amazing what a zombie with 4½ hours sleep, a mild hangover and a deadline can do to his face with that "mild" little thing.

Shave #39. Plugging away with this fixed razor, soap and blade for the week. The blade doesnt seem ideal for this razor, but I'm going to persevere and see if I can work around it.

Today for the blade comparison

more alike than different but this is also another one I had not used before in the 43 blades or whatever I had tried before and worth using more and seeing what happens with more testing

todays Cream was the Captains Choice Eucalyptus sample I received and was quite nice has a unique feeling or cooling effect it seemed ? Not a fan of menthol but this is from their site

Unique for its camphor-like and lemony notes, eucalyptus is native to Southeastern Australia. The uplifting scent blended with a dash of spearmint will stimulate the senses for an uplifting experience.

So yeah spot on desc I reckon and had this nice feel scent sensation that I had no clue was going to happen

Not all blades are suited to all razors, last year I used a Voskhod with my Muhle Rocca during FFFM, that seemed like such a long month.

Razor: Muhle R89 Rosegold
Blade: Personna Med-Prep(8)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: ZM Explorer

Tonight Explorer provided the lather along with the Kosmo, another favourite lathering combination. Loved lathering up because the scent and performance is just incredible, it's one of my favourite soaps. I didn't think artisan offerings were this good before I tried ZM, but I have decided to take a look at Moon Soaps this year.
The result was a near BBS, but I didn't try a touch-up pass
