2020 Shave # 6 ( 426 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Rockwell 6s Plate 5
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Stirling Boar
Soap: CBL Tonsorial Fresh Lime 3017 (6)
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Clubman Citrus Musk
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
Dropped a new Wizamet blade in the 6s and WOW !!!!!!!! Soooo smooth and close. The cooling effect of a soap never really bothered me in the winter but on a daily bases......................day in and day out............every DAY... ..................I'm starting to wonder. Not really sure if it's starting to get to me or @Spider planting the idea of it being an issues in my head is messing with me..........time will tell. For now I'm 3 days away from tying a personal record. Actually I have used a single soap to finish in the early days when I only had 1 soap at a time. Those were the dark days, before variety came to roost. That said I have done it, just never with 100+ other fantastic soaps/scents staring back at me while doing it.............................................Okay, that's enough of overthinking it. Long work day today. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Congrats on the new pooch. Dogs are such a pleasure.
I was wondering which Yaqi Moka Express that brush is. Your last picture shows which one and it is the same Yaqi I have with the synthetic bristles. There is a 26 with badger that they have made as well. I will be taking mine on our annual trip to Central America later this month along with my trusty Rockwell 6S that I travel with--not as fancy as yours but it does the job.
Your comments in the prior shave video (shave No. 7) re not chasing every new thing struck me as very apropos. When I got back to Florida in November, I went a little nuts buying all the newest soaps and a few aftershaves. So now I have most of the newest, latest, most greatest soaps that I wanted (except for a example of Declaration Grooming Milksteak) and I am having a hard time fitting this newest batch of stuff in my RV. Ironically, yesterday I revisited a soap I have had for nearly a year and absolutely loved it--Grooming Dept Barbershop. Yes, the new stuff is great but so is the older stuff. So maybe its time for me to slow it way down and use what I have. Yeah, I think so.
