I weighed the soap before the shave it is now at 149g it was 166g on day one of AA. Simple two pass shave with the ever slick Saponificio Varesino Mirto di Sardegna the PGDG blade is still cutting very well & the Assassin smooth as ever . I think the brush may nearly be stink free after this AA is finished it will be getting a very thorough shampoo & a bit of a rest.

Everything is still working well and the brush I think is doing less soap hoggin as the RawHoggin continues it is making good lather with the SV , the Malizia Uomo Vetyver bottle may have one splash left there are 2 bottles on the bench so the same set up will remain for the entirety.The PGDG blade is still doing the business nicely . Nearly half way there .Have a fine weekend .

A very decent two pass shave , the brush is definitely less stinky and everything else is working perfectly. I have started to just do one ATG pass on my neck to maybe aid the longevity of the blade we shall see how it goes.

*Beginning to really appreciate how good the SV soap is with the consistent use I have also more or less got the face lathering all sorted . Still on course with the ultra nightmare mode 🤞.*

A very smooth comfortable outing with all the ingredients working well the brush may have shed a few bristles but that is power for the course . I think using a good quality soap such as this SV ( scent profile in pic 2) really does benefit your skin with continuous use as does the L'Occitane balm . I will never tire of this aftershave . Have a good week .
