Notes:

Fourth shave and with a great blade. I felt the smooth and nimble razor like the shaves before and no damage was incurred today.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #6
Bowl: Turkish copper

Back to my (unevenly used up) MWF, and loaded heavily, to make sure there was enough for a good bowl-lather. I got a fine near-BBS.

Muhle Monday
MdC Monday

Razor:
Muhle R89 Rosegold
Blade: Feather Rapira Platinum Lux (1)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: MdC Original
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Creme
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water

All change last night with the change to the Rapira Platinum Lux blade and though not a favourite even when combined with the R89 I managed to get a BBS when combined with a clean-up pass. The R89 is often overlooked in my collection though it always provides a good comfortable shave and can give a BBS, when combined with the right blade. I have 4 of these to use up, but no idea how long they'll last.

Shave #254 of 366.
One pass ATG and walk away shave. The boar works very well on the B&M soap today. I've found these blades rough, but I think part of it was inferior lather with other soaps. These are only a small number of soap brands that I buy now.

366 shaves in 2024
Shave#249 of 366 remaining 117(100%)

Razor:
Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Feather Rapira Platinum Lux (2)
Brush: Simpsons Trafalgar T3
Soap: ZM Explorer
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Creme
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water

Tonight for my first 3017 shave of the week I lathered with the T3, for a while I thought the brush was too springy and had a tendency to fling lather all over the place, but after using it quite a bit whilst 3017ing this soap I have found that as long as you use it to paint the lather on it is actually a fairly good brush, as long as you take care. As for the Rapira blade, when combined with the Rocca it delivered an easy BBS.
