Shave # 275: An excellent shave!

...but this one IS cracked.
275 of 275
Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Astra SS (20)
Soap: TFS RasoZero Agrumella
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 26mm 2 band badger
Tonight it's back to the Agrumella, I can see the soap going down now that I am using the Moka-Express, but this soap seems to be very long lasting. The lather was better than last time, but then as long as you load it like you hate it and then add enough water to the bowl to get the consistency you are after.
The result was a DFS but good enough with this soap/blade combo.

Did a bunch of reading
sadly I am not a fan of heavy razors and by the price if they made a titanium might become the unobtanium anyway have read on occasion but never considered to much so had fun reading his journal pages with it and his sailor threadReckon the fact so many think the tatara Adj is not aggressive enough might put that in a good spot for me to try one day
on my rex anything over 3 and I am in tears when the splash hit and think of Home Alone movie
but hey my sensitive skin face at 59 makes me look younger so OK trade off hahahahahaah

Shave #275. Relied on my WR1 for a quick one pass shave with no issues so as to be out of the house early for a long work day.
Sunday 2nd October, shave #275
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 OC, Ti Handle, Nacet #4
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave
Used both Game Changers again, for a luxurious BBS. Open comb for a close WTG/XTG pass, then an easygoing mostly-ATG and tidy-up with the safety bar version.

I believe Jim @Chan Eil Whiskers also has a Tatara Adjustable, and gives it very high ratings for it's smoothness and efficiency.

Shave #276 on the year.
Used a Feather for the first time in many months, a blade I'd like to like. So far so good this time. The badger on the omnibus was not as good as a synth.

decided to pull out the GC 84 today and see how that did as I used to love it
very close to the timeless and Woflman in post feel and very smooth the angles are a touch tighter to get the best tomorrow going to throw the .68 bar on it

Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Polsilver SS (8)
Soap: ZM Explorer
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF with Bog Oak handle
Tonight ZM Explorer was an absolute star lathered with my favourite brush, the Kosmo, I have given serious thought to purchasing another of these as I like it so much. The lather was fantastic and the feel of the brush, amazing.
The result was a near BBS with a great post shave feel in just three passes.
