Tuesday 4th May, shave #124.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Wizamet SI #6
Post-shave: Nivea Balm.
BBS face and DFS neck, but that felt a bit rough. Blades usually last me to #7, but not this one.
Good long run there, Tomo.
Looking back at the first page, it isn't mandatory to score 100% in this thread, unlike the GRUMEs.
I've been using the thread to impose some useful structure on my (retired, then disrupted) life. 124 has to be a lifetime record for me. The competitive aspect has certainly helped with motivation!

Wednesday 5th May, shave #125.
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #1
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.
That fresh Astra was a lot more comfortable. Maybe I "boil a frog" with blades, deluding myself that they're still sharp enough.
BBS face and DFS neck.

Razor: Kai Style AC shavette- Mfg 2018>, well built for a Zamac Shavette, I like the folding type because it can be configured to my liking. Easy razor to enjoy and learn with IMO with a guarded blade.
Blade: Kai Protouch guarded (7), sharp & smooth with reasonable longevity usually around 8 shaves for me, very smooth blade compared to a naked edge and I still get close shaves.
Soap: Arko, scent is controversial with great lather qualities, still on my 1st stick 4 years later, has amazing longevity
.
Brush: Yaqi Atlantis 24mm- Excellent lather creator, cloud like soft tips, excellent back bone for scrubbing+ good lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 3. 1X WTG + 2X ATG.
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=
Excellent shave with my Kai style shavette with a Kai Protouch.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!
