Day 15, halfway there and still in! Wonderful shave with the Friodur and I can't fathom why the Razorock wax is not more popular: superb stuff! Have great shaves, brothers! 
Not checking in frequently as I just keep cruising along with already stocked gear.

In and thanks for all the well wishes. Wife says I'm not going anywhere because she isn't done torturing me yet.
Very nice shave with the new brush.

Day 14, 45.2% complete
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #7
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
I was also getting a bit of irritation yesterday, maybe pollen related.
I always do the nose and mouth area first — I think this habit started when I used to get cut a lot, in the mid 1970s.
This time, I did my best near-BBS effort there, and then slacked off with a single WTG pass everywhere else.
That's a good compromise between a proper shave and a perfunctory one.

Summary. Another effective and wonderful shave. All players working in unison with each other.

Razor and blade. Second run with the Minora. Good blade although I had the impression that the pairing with the Blackbird made it feel a little harsher. Still comfortable but not smooth.
Enjoy your shave!

Evening shave - 5/14/24
Razor: KCG
Blade: Ladas Stainless Steel (1/5) (3)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: Omega 10065
Aftershave: Stetson Cooling Moisture
Rating: 9/10, DFS+
More comfortable shave than previous one. However, still a bit tightness of the skin, but not a lot. Plenty close shave. I just had a couple of spots with short stubble left in my normal troublesome areas.
