There was so much watch goodness in @Keithmax's photo that I didn't notice a razor. By the way, my people are working on the ice cream shipment.
May 13, 2023 Focus R52 Concave Zenith B2 Boar Gillette 7 O’clock Black MdC Fougère Supremacy Silver Afan Happy Saturday Everyone. Up and moving early this morning. We are going to visit my Mom for an early Mother's Day. I know she will be happy to see Swati and Maya. I am just along for the ride. I decided to change up the hardware and went with the Focus R52 razor and the Zenith B2 boar. With regular use this week, I anticipate the B2 brush will break in nicely. Despite its very light weight the R52 delivered a scary smooth shave. Now I am ready to face the day.
Thank you, it is the only hardware aquisition in the last year and half. It was a long wait but well worth it.
Sunday I decided to go for a super lather, AoS tallow + Castle Forbes. Two great soaps that go great together. A huge and fancy Revisor for the steel and Jicky for the stank. Charlie, so I forgot to put a watch in the pic.
Saturday, May 13 AoS Lavender~~Zenith B507~~2011 Mühle R41/Weber Bulldog/Gillette Platinum~~Agua Lavanda Puig Day Seventeen. Very late post. Shave after 72 hours of growth demanded a specific tool. Nothing better than the '11 R41. Superior shave in every way. SWMBOSOA© awarded to the Agua Lavanda Puig. Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, past and present. We wouldn't be here without you.
Sunday, May 14 AoS Lavender~~Zenith B507~~Feather AS-D2/Gillette Platinum~~Vintage Aqua Velva Day Eighteen After the super-close shave of yesterday, only some fine-tuning was necessary for today. The AS-D2 is a great choice for daily shavers. Buffing abounded and my face is as soft as...

Day 27 A semi-rushed quick shave before dinner with my wife and mother. I appear to be making good progress with the soap.
Day 28 I realize that I haven’t reached for a vintage Injector in quite some time as I seem to gravitate towards the modern Supply. This one (and a cool-looking ‘66’ G4) came from John @Screwtape near the start of my wetshaving journey. I might pass this one on to my son if he wants to try it, but it will stay in the rotation. A very easy two passer this morning.

Day 29 Four shaves ago, I guessed 12-15 shaves. I think that guess was accurate, so now I’m down to roughly 9-12 lathers left. The end is nigh.
Tuesday, May 16 AoS Lavender~~Zenith B507~~Cobra Classic/Feather Pro~~Vintage Michael for Men Day Nineteen A couple of shaves remain. The soap is one of the best. If I didn't have backups, I wouldn't consider 3017'ing it.
