366 shaves in 2024
Shave#146 of 366 remaining 220(100%)
SV Saturday

Razor:
RR Lupo 95 SB
Blade: Gillette Blue 2 (8)
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3
Soap: SV Desert Vetiver
A/S: CK Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight for SV Saturday I rotated in Desert Vetiver and decided to lather it with the T3. Sometimes I forget how springy this brush is until I use it again and it certainly doesn't have the same luxurious feeling of my STF brushes. The shave was almost a BBS with just one tiny rough patch under one side of my jawline.
 
Saturday 25th May, shave #146

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #4
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea 2-in-1 Aftershave

I used Opuntia for SV Saturday, along with other known good kit. Got the usual excellent bowl-lather, for an easy near-BBS.
