Weather is really dry today, perfect for AS Balms, my skin absorbed it in no time. I'll add some cream on top later in the morning.

Notes to today’s shave:

The G365 went into double digits today. The GC2 is just a dream to shave with.

A very nice shave with great results. Tomorrow is the last day for this blade in the Piccolo SE.

This morning's shave was excellent. Got a few new bits & bobs yesterday so of course I had to try them out 😉

The razor is a proper hefty bastard and performed superbly. The soap is top notch and the scent is bloody lovely!

...but this one IS cracked.

Razor: RR Lupo 95
Blade: Big Ben (14)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band badger
Soap: EJ Limes and Pomegranate

Tonight EJ and the Lupo were back again and the ring of Limes and Pomegranate is growing thinner and thinner and it is taking longer and longer to create a lather, bad news for my shave, but good news for my fitness. Eventually I managed to make a workable lather, but it is getting more difficult to get it right. The Lupo is still making good use of the Big Ben blade and is proving itself to be an excellent razor, I am glad I didn't let a few bad experiences at the beginning put me off this razor. Unfortunately only a DFS tonight and I am starting to think the blade is deteriorating so I will have to watch it over the next few shaves.

It has been a good B&B month for me...Still In GRUME, GRUYERE and 365 Shaves.
I want to thank Brandon, @FoolishMortal, Stan, @KQY61 and @Leverspro for sponsoring my monthly threads. 🍻🍻🍻
Thanks to the rest of the guys for your participation and for making B&B a very very special place! 🍻

When I returned to B&B last year, Guido, @Guido75 was the first person to help me identify the razor I am using today. In honor of his friendly, funny and gregarious personality, I am participating in Fatip Friday (started by David, @never-stop-learning).

Tomorrow, (April Fools Day) is also Semogue Saturdays! , the start of April GRUME and Vintage April.

Please take care of yourself and each other.

You're a busy guy! The Fatip has eluded me so far, but I'll probably try one someday. The slant used to get a lot of attention around here. April first tomorrow. I think there's a saying amongst SR guys about a "fools pass." Perhaps that's for tomorrow.

My shave today was #90 of 365 in 2023. Thankful for all the blessing that are represented by a daily shave.
My copper week has been great. Today ATT from back in Stan's days.
