Hmm, I'm contemplating BBS November. I don't know if I can handle two shaves every day. Maybe some days ...

    This was pretty rough – I hope that chromox will be able to arrange things, otherwise, it will be back to the stones.

    Have a good night!

    Do you find that 8 shaves is a typical edge lifetime for you?

    Great shave. I've gotten this razor sharper in the past, but with 100 stops it felt nice and smooth today. I used a slightly bigger shaving angle and the results were positive. Since it's a near wedge, a lower angle makes the razor suck into my skin. Keeping the angle higher makes it easier and gets things nice and close.

    Transitioning back to morning shaves now that LG is over, which is great because night shaves are inferior.

    I'm also being asked, post-LG, to "use way less stuff that smells strong." Sounds like I may be on a bit of a fragrance sabbatical for the next 7 months.

    tbd whether I can fit in BBS November this year, we'll see!

    For today's second luxury shave (SLS) I chose AG 1899 which is a dupe of the fragrance Jicky, created by Aimé Guerlain I 1899. Absolutely wonderful. This soap is almost gone since I used it a couple of years a go for an Austere August run.
