[Mike M]

366 shaves in 2024
Shave#118 of 366 remaining 248(100%)

Razor: Muhle Rocca R94
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharpedge (2)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel

Tonight I switched back to the Tabac and Moka-Express. The lather for my first pass was slightly too dry but was easily remedied with a tiny drizzle of water. The shave was every bit as good as last night and left me with another BBS. I will stick with the Rocca as long as it keeps delivering good shaves with this blade.

Sunday 28th April, shave #119

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #7
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

Palmolive day again. I got the usual excellent lather — having soft water probably helps. Planed the top off some sort of insect bump, but apart from that, a fine near-BBS shave.

This blade ought to see the month out, it's still OK.
