I have some old D&D dice in a box somewhere. For now, I have 3 six-sided dice that I will use.

It has begun....
First shave in the books. This is a smooth combo. My only complaint is the Yuma might actually be too mild for me. I was able to pull out a DFS shave, with no irritation or burn whatsoever, so it was a win.
After one day this blade is still going stronk!

Yea, doing the first shave with the Tech/Feather gave me the same thoughts looking toward the long haul. By the end of the month I may only be able to get SAS after 3 passes.

As some things begin, some other things end. Today I finished the 3017 of CBL Tonsorial. It was a truly fabulous shave. The Variant with Treet Black did wonders on my face. A very solid start to the One Blade challenge. Let's see how long this carbon steel blade can go.

First shave tonight. I decided to use the newest soap in my collection because of the shaving qualities and face feel. I also decided to not exceed two passes and not to try for a BBS just to make the blade last the entire month. I have some other tricks to use as the blade starts to tug. I know it has lasted me more than two weeks before and so I am shooting for the month (and the 30 days).

I hear amazing things about them 
Well that’s a blade with a specific time built right in.

No pictures yet gentlemen but I have gotten 21 days on the same DE blade in the past. A full month will be a challenge as I shave 6-7 days a week so I will try my blades in a large gap or adjustable in the hope that a 2+ pass will be only 1+ pass. So far managed a single pass with touch ups using the WR2 145 with a credit card shim which is kinda my limit in a daily driver. Perhaps I will try a wide open adjustable in 2 weeks to make the DE blade last.

Shave 1 is in the books. Same as any shave with a new 7 o'clock Black... A great shave. Used the GC 68, along with Stirling Barbershop and Stirling unscented AS splash.
All around good shave, as expected. I typically do 4 shaves on my blades, with (I believe) 7 shaves as a max. This will, therefore be an attempt to push it double what I have done in the past.
Not much done to the blade other than removing it and wiping it down. I did flip it over. I think I'll try that as well to see if it helps. Also considering hand stropping in the future. We'll see if it is needed.
