[Multum in parvo]

Day 7, 23.3% complete

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Cubebe
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: Leaf Twig, half Astra SP #3
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Hyaluron

A less careful repeat of yesterday's shave, getting an acceptable DFS.



Good move. If I didn't already have spares, I'd have done the same.



Well spotted, there's a pattern to use there. Is there a soap called TTH or TT to use on the Tuesdays and Thursdays?

Tallow Tabac for Tuesdays?

Another very good shave but I think the blade may be close to done.

Beautiful shave with the Dart today, a BBS result, pretty effortless. What's more to ask for?

Notes to these shaves:

Quick shave with the NEW Short Comb today using 2.5 passes. Very decent end result taking into account I was short on time this morning. All other actors performing admirably as well. The smoothness of this razor in combination with this blade amazes me.

Good work to all you Gentlemen that are still in!

 

[tjsgarden]

I am out.

As of lunchtime today, there is a long handle, brass, Blackbird on the way to me.
Thank you for the camaraderie and support from this thread.

I must profess that I too have fallen short this month

@TOVT and @ChriWilson, I hope you will stick around as a 29/30er as I have done in the past.

299 and counting on my Feather

I feel there needs to be some sort of celebration for #300!

Yes, knee surgery! (Tomorrow.)

 

[LJBraaten]

Early town day shave, honing helped, today was a 9.7 / 10. And …. shave 300 on my Feather!! Can’t believe myself!!!!

 

[Abz88]

Still in. Fourth and final shave with the Rapira Platinum Lux and FaTip Piccolo OC combination today, overall and excellent pairing for when I need a close shave quickly (gets the job done in two passes)

Gentleman I’m out…

Classic case of FOMO. With the first picture of Indian produced Astras I got the hiebee jeebies for my beloved Wizamets. So I ordered 500 more to bring my total stock to ~1.7k which should last for my remaining time on this mortal plane.

Will keep it up for the rest of the month.

365 for the award of 1 Feather a year?

 

[Balin]

Yes, knee surgery! (Tomorrow.)

Good luck with the surgery! I'm hoping that its uneventful and that you have a speedy recovery!

 

[Balin]

Still in! Apologies for the recycled photo, but I am really loving this kit!

 

[ChriWilson]

@TOVT and @ChriWilson, I hope you will stick around as a 29/30er as I have done in the past.

For sure
No Shave Today though

I will wait to see what the-thread-boss has to say. He's probably disgusted with this group.

Good news is I fell hard and treewhaled yesterday. Leaving me in the position of no longer needing anything. Or really wanting of anything shaving.

Great shave today!
