Shave #219. Very easy start on a long day at work, but got a one pass shave in which is almost always trusted to a big gap Wolf. My blade this week is a PolSilver Stainless sent to me by SharpieB. So far, so good.

Shave #220 on the year. Froze my face pretty good today using a chill soap with a good dose of menthol drops added and rubbed in with a nice stiff boar. Add to that a high blade feel razor and it made for a numb face.

Razor: KCG
Blade: Personna Platinum(10)
Soap: TFS RasoZero Agrumella
Brush: Semogue 1305
Tonight I just had to start again on the Agrumella and get back to 3017ing it again, sorry @JAHE but I will still dip in and out of All Adventus August. Changed down to the KCG because this soap doesn't seem to get on with highly efficient razors.
The shave was fine, not the greatest I've ever had, but this soap doesn't lend itself to incredible shaves. The lather does need to be very wet to get a workable result.

That's fine! As we agreed in Aventus August, just enjoy your journey. There are no obligations other than that

Shave #221 for 2022. Not sure what the story is on this blade as it was gifted. Might be vintage. It gave a very good shave today in the charcoal goods razor. What a treat the rose MdC is on a warm Summer day.

It’s been a while since I’ve used either this blade or razor, but a fine DFS shave nonetheless.

repost from aventus aug thread
first shave with ethos
love the scent need to use it more but got a super comfy shave with just a few tiny spots where I could feel the splash so for a first use looks promising and worked great with the Semogue ! a few other artisan soaps and my insane hard water do not pair well so that is also a good thing
the CC venture is always good to the face
Neutrogena the ultimate finishing product IMHO
wolfman .95 with new Nacet whats not to love !

Razor: Yaqi DLC SB
Blade: Personna Platinum(11)
Soap: RR Don Marco
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF with Bog Oak Handle
Today's weather was definitely Don Marco weather, the scent of oranges is just summer to me. In fact it was so hot today I even used my orange shower gel (normally I use bar soap, at the moment grapefruit which was impossible to get hold of til recently due to Brexit).
The DLC gave me an excellent BBS shave and that killer orange scent just made me happy. I hope we get a few more hot days before the end of summer.
