    03-08 In the Mood for Indigo

    • Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
    • Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet (3)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
    • Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

    This was one of the best shaves in recent memory. The soap was at its slickest and wettest, the razor and slightly worn-in blade glid effortlessly, and the balm has me smelling amazing for what I hope is many more hours to come. Just an A+++ effort.

    Today was the last shave on the blade because it was getting dull and had a real loss in efficiency today. I still did my same 2.5 passes and only got a CCS instead of a DFS. I could have done a full 3rd pass ATG, but usually that causes me to have ingrowns on my neck, so I decided not to risk it. Tomorrow will be a fresh blade. I will make a better attempt to keep a count on how long this blade goes for. I hope everyone has a great day and has a great shave.
