Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Ti Handle, Astra SP #1
Bowl: Turkish copper

Loaded a fresh Astra, and noticed an improvement. An excellent near-BBS.
 
Still in.
No shave for a couple days. Monday night over supper we decided to take off north. 8 hours later we were on the road heading to our aunt and uncles hunt camp near Chapleau.

24 hours after arriving I got to help pull a black bear out of the woods, skin and quarter the meat. We guess 180 - 200 kg (400-450LB).
Good times
 
Day 29, 93.5% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #2
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm

The Astra had smoothed out on shave two. An excellent near-BBS.
 
I'm still in, it has been a busy month at work and home, which precluded me from posting much outside the journals. I have remained faithful to the GRUME and even 3017'ed a few wares, The Mother Bears After Shave Balm and my RE Pre-Shave soap, I have replacements on hand for those but will restock soon. Hang tough Brothers, one day left. Finish strong.
