A remarkably good shave, meaning maybe one day in 10 my skin feels this smooth and yet comfortable.

Wednesday 22nd May, shave #143
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Nivea Men Shaving Creme
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
Back to the safety bar, and loaded a fresh Astra for the third week.
After the open comb, this is pleasantly docile, while still very effective. Got a comfortable near-BBS out of the new blade.
People use more aggressive kit than my GC.84 OC, but I haven't been following whether it's once or 7 days a week. It's the cumulative ATG irritation that gets me.

Tonight I decided to stick with last night's gear,the Rockwell did another bang up job with the shave. It left me a near BBS finish and very comfortable too with the Blue 2 holding up it's end of the bargain.

DE SOTD, Thursday, May 23rd 2024.# 144/366 daily consecutive shaves.
Razor : Razorock Game changer.84 with a Razorock Radio nob 316 SS handle. Mfg 2018>, mild to tame mid range IMO. I like to use a Kai SS extra wide in this razor for slight increase in blade feel. The razor works well and has been in my rotation for many years and should be for many more years forward. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai SS (3) sharp and smooth. Excellent longevity, works well in those mild razors that need a little extra blade feel because they are slightly wider by 8-9/1000 of a inch or 4.5/1000" per side.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream. Nice rose scented with excellent lather qualities. Very easy lather to mix in no time and works well.
Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3 band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, luxury splay scrubber + great lather painter. I always smile when I see this brush bloom display from 1st cleaning, it still has a large bloom.
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 : Italian barber Amici splash 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 RR GC.84 with Kai SS blade.
Have some great shaves!

Shave#144 of 366 remaining 222(100%)
Razor: RR Lupo 95 SB
Blade: Gillette Blue 2 (6)
Brush: Yaqi Moka-Express 2 band
Soap: Tabac
A/S: CK Davidoff Cool Water
Post Shave: Nivea Hyaluron Gel
Decided to change it up a bit tonight by pairing the Blue 2 with the Lupo 95. I thought the Rockwell was delivering good shaves, but the Lupo just handed me an effortless BBS that was even more comfortable. I think I may stick with the Lupo for the next few shaves.
