Friday 27th August, shave #239.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #5
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid, Brut AS.

Felt alert enough for a thorough shave, so took my time, threw in some extra XTG, and chased up the missed bits. BBS face, and probably the best neck result so far. 10 out of 10.

Shave #241. I'm enjoying this Carbon Cx copper. Sean did a drop of new SS razors this weekend with a web design in the baseplate. Looks great, but I have resisted so far. He's a quality artisan.

Sunday 29th August, shave #241.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: Rockwell 6S R4, Personna #2
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Took my time and got a BBS face and smooth neck, without any irritation.

These Israel-made Personnas don't feel as smooth as Astra SP or Wizamet SI to me, but they work just as well.

Shave #242. A fine shave, but the PermaSharp feels like it's done on its third use.

Monday 30th August, shave #242.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: MWF
Brush: Men-U boar
Razor: GC.68 SB, Astra SP #7
Post-shave: Nivea Balm, Hyaluronic Acid, Brut AS.

Reasonable shave, but end of the road for this blade.

I'm finding it convenient to mix hyaluronic acid in with a blob of balm before applying, as someone suggested on the HA thread.
