MdC Monday
Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette Blue 2 (10)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: MdC Original(100)
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel
Tonight it was Muhle/MdC Monday once again and had a favourite combo of mine, Original and the Kosmo. They always provide a great lather and tonight was no exception. The Blue 2 finally reached double digits and surprised me with a BBS finish, well worth the effort.
I nearly forgot to mention that I finally reached 100 shaves from the MdC, a major milestone.
Monday 27th May, shave #148
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Steel Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
Tried using the steel Rockwell handle for a change, and it was better than I expected. I got one of those perfect bowl lathers, and had to make the rest of the shave live up to it.
A comfortable near-BBS.

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, May 28th 2024. #149 of 149/366 consecutive daily shaves!
Razor : Gem Featherweight, 1st Generation, 1oz. Mfg 1950-52, mild to tame mid range. I had a itching to use a another Gem or ASR razor after MMMonday shave and looking through my razor racks this little jewel brought back some great thoughts of a nice comfortable shaves.
Well built and designed to last with a little care. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Lavender
, one of the better soaps that has ever come out of Razorock IMO. The scent that this soap produces is a masculine lavender with some of the best lather qualities I have ever used. (obsolete?? for now, 3rd tub.)
Brush : Yaqi "Purple haze" 24mm synthetic Mew knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great brush for my shaving needs I have concluded.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock King Lois Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my ASR Gem Featherweight razor with a coated Gem blade. Great shave today!

Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel
Tonight for the first 3017 shave of the week I have had a really bad day. Usually shaving is where I go to escape from all that, but tonight with everything on my mind I forgot to soak the badger brush and the lather suffered accordingly. It was too dry and even when I wet it more the brush just didn't feel as good as it normally does. With all that the shave wasn't great and left me feeling much rougher than usual, but that is entirely down to me and not the gear which usually delivers great results. I'll have to be a little more focused tomorrow.

I have to wake up super early tomorrow so opted for a quick night shave. The Feather Pro Guard worked very nicely with the Beard Lube. Much smoother than usual.

Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
Tried using the original Razorock handle. It looks good, but isn't as agile as a light 85mm one.
I got a quick but effective DFS.
