Razor: Gillette blue tip/ Wizamet(2)
Soap: Pre d’provence 63
Scuttle: Captains Choice
Strop:
Brush: Greydog Badger
AS/eDt: Nivea 2 in 1 (ka-ka-ka POW)

Comments: when I pulled this razor out of the drawer it had a Feather blade in it. New year, unknown number of shaves, binned it.

The Hardware: The Blue tip is a mild razor. Not much else to comment on

The Software: 63 is one of my favorite scents. Lathers great with the brush I selected and continues to be super durable. I would not try to 3017 this soap! It would last til 3017!

The Shave: quick N-S. S-N cleanup before running out on errands. Ka-ka-ka Pow feels good followed by a couple squirts of 63. I’m a chick magnet!
 
Morning, Rich! When it comes to doing errands, driving or walking is probably better than running at present .... it's easier on the cardio.
 
After watching your 'vette goes to the post office video (which didn't get posted here BTW, making me hunt all over the interwebinetz :cautious:) , I'm going to have to start calling you Sammy Hagar! 😜

I was approaching 90 at that point. Lol 😝 That stretch of highway has no place for police to pull over safely to clock cars. It’s a local testing ground.

Razor: German Travel Razor ( Thanks Matt). Wizamet (3)
Soap: CBL Iron Throne
Scuttle: Captains Choice
Strop:
Brush: VdH Boar
AS/eDt: Rich’s DFET Bay Rum

Comments: 10 days since my last shave entry?! Scandalous! Safetycat was bagging to go out to the porch this morning and the plan was a 30 minute session. Well... I forgot and she spent all day out there. Oops.

The Hardware: Today’s Razor was a travel razor I received for Christmas. Wizamet blade in its prime. There is a tiny bit of difference in blade exposure one side from another. I’ll call it a mild and wild side.

The Software: I believe this soap is from Chris’ early base and it is wonderful

The Shave: three passes to a DFS. It would have been DDS+ except a little nip from the exposed blade tabs on the razor.
