Shave#112 of 366 remaining 254(100%)
Muhle Monday
MdC Monday

Razor:
Muhle R41
Blade: GSB (9)
Brush: Muhle Kosmo STF
Soap: MdC Original
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight it is MdC/Muhle Monday once again and the Original was lathered with the Kosmo, just a dream team. I decided to try out the R41 with the GSB to see if the combo had any merit. With that slick MdC lather the R41 had no problem mowing down my 24hr stubble to leave me with a BBS once again. Not bad for the ninth shave with a blade.

I loaded a fresh Astra for the fourth week. Back to the Game Changer, for a quick but effective DFS.

The blade had smoothed out for its second shave. All the components worked together perfectly, for an easy near-BBS.
