Evening shave - 2/27/24
Razor: Greencult GC 1.1
Blade: BIC Chromium Platinum (3)
Soap: BSS #1
Brush: RazoRock Hive 24
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud
Rating: 9.5/10, BBS
Very similar shave to yesterday's. Just like yesterday I got some tightness and maybe a hair more even. The shave quality was fantastic though with another BBS. My next shave is 36 hours out so maybe that will give my skin a bit of a longer break. Also the blade will be a bit more mellow. We will see. Still a great shave.

I felt a bit hurried this morning shaving and I missed a tiny bit of stubble next to my ear on one side and a bit on my upper lip so I could not give it a BBS. Still is was a splendid shave. As close as the other shaves with the GC 1.1. Irritation free since my skin was left alone for an extra 12 hours.

I felt like my shave this morning was more efficient on time and indeed looking at the time it was. I was quite surprised. I am not a speed shaver in any way. Even so this shave was a great one. Smooth and comfortable and plenty close. A few areas with a tiny bit of stubble, but nothing to worry about.

Fresh blade, 24 hours since last shave with the GC 1.1. Seems a bit too much for my skin. I can tell that the skin would favor a bit longer between shaves or have a less sharp blade with this razor. Still a very nice shave. Plenty close, but with a little bit of tightness and one weeper.

Oh so close to BBS! Unfortunately found a spot or two that had a little stubble left. Very smooth, comfortable and close. Still nice DFS 12 hours after the shave.

That is how a shave should be! Ultra smooth and easy. Completely irritation free. Very close to BBS. I was even debating to give it a BBS rating, but there was a tiny bit of stubble I found so I could not. Awesome shave with an awesome razor.

Started a new blade in the Dorco ST301 Stainless tuck this morning. Slowly working my way through this 10-pack.

I had a bit more time this morning for my shave so I could take my time. It really paid off. I got a fantastic BBS shave. This razor is quickly turning into my favorite. Smooth, close and comfortable.
Only three loose blades to clean up and then I only have full tucks left!

Decided to take one of my less than stellar razors out for a spin and I have to say it was a nice comfortable shave. Really no issues. I did have a small weeper that came and went, but nothing to get too excited about. Plenty close. No complaints.
Only two loose blades left..........we are getting there.

Respectable shave, plenty close, but with a slight bit of tightness of the skin. I did get one weeper that closed quickly. I think my decision to PIF this razor is the right one.

Today's shave was just so good. I decided to pull out four more GSB's and used them over the next few days. Same kit planned for each day. Same photo each day, no need to change that either!

Back to the RR Old Type and it was really shining. Super comfortable and not even a threat of irritation. Plenty close shave. A few areas short of a BBS, but still a very nice shave.
