2020 Shave # 106 ( 522 Consecutive Shaves )
Razor: Lupo
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Black (4)
Brush: @Graydog Quilt
Soap: @Mystic Water Bergamot, Cedar & Juniper Stick
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Clubman Gents Gin
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Bayolea
Another Mystic Water soap and another Stupid Slick lather that gave the 7 O'Cock Black blade the help it needed to get thru shave 4 as it feels to have dropped off in sharpness and requires going over and over the same area. The Graydog brush worked great although I keep waiting for it to have the knot pop out as I used the silicone to set it again. Hoping t lasts, but if not I will get some epoxy to use. The Cadre coin in the bottom just barely fit. While not being recessed as usual, I'm glad it could at least be used. It gives a Weebles wobble but they don't fall down effect while standing on the counter which makes me smile. Topped off with Gents Gin and Penhaligon's Bayolea has me smelling fresh and ready for the day.
Heading south to check in on some customers still open (Grocery stores) as well as to check on my parents which is permissible. I will be at a distance while we visit and get anything they need from the stores. Have a great day Cadre !!

Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
Aftershave 2: Winter Reserve Small Batch Shave Tonic

1st Off, I LIED in the SOTD but can't edit it. Hey I'm old and forgetful. ASCO blade NOT the Wizamet. It did a great job on shave 2 and color me impressed. Not replacing my Wizamet but a good blade. We'll see how long it lasts. "K" is for King of Bourbon. I LOVE this scent and soap base. The Small Batch Tonic is just SOOOOOO yummy too and then topping with the Prada Luna Rossa Black !
