- Blade: Personna P74 (102)
- Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Test… Test… 123 - Soap

Wow, what an improvement over yesterday. This blade has always worked well in the Era level 3, and apparently it still does! I guess the razor I used yesterday just wasn’t a good fit. Today it felt sharper, smoother, and quite nice.
I finished this tester sample of Fanzine Saponifications. I’m eagerly awaiting the initial release from this new artisan.
Sgrddy should start to worry!
I’m on the phone with Guinness as we speak.
Also call the Smithsonian to reserve a room.
I heard there’s a spot opening up next to Dorothy’s slippers.

You and @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social should investigate this. You’re both very observant and analytical. (This is up my alley too but no way am I shaving with the same DE blade over 100 times. With my current rotation, it will take me about 4 years to get there.)

- Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
- Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
- Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave
Shave was okay. Not great, but not horrible. Hardest part of this challenge so far is just writing up a proper SOTD with picture everyday.

It is at that! 🙂

- Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
- Razor: Koraat 14 “Moarteen” 15/16" Full Hollow
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (Mutton -r/Wetshaving) - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
- Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Sir Irisch Moos - Eau de Cologne
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
10 days, 28 passes. No stropping of the razor. Better shaves than when I started. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the mutton tallow, but the rest I think is due to a rededication to precision to touch and angle. This is fun stuff for me.
