Saturday, November 30, 2024: SLS - BBSNovember Final Shave

  • Brush: Yaqi - Sagrada Familia 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Merkur - 34C
  • Blade: Van Der Hagen - Stainless (3)
  • Lather: Stirling - Autumn Glory
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber Aftershave splash
  • Post: Nivea - Sensitive Post Shave Balm

Tonight was the final shave in my first BBS November. I’m glad I participated this month, as finding time to shave twice daily was a fun (albeit surprisingly difficult) challenge.

My technique improved drastically, without a doubt. I’m much more confident in creating a consistent and well-hydrated lather. Autumn Glory into Ghost Town Barber was a great combination to round out the month.

I definitely look forward to participating next year! :)

Congrats! Very happy to have you along on this one!

I noticed @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social do this three years ago. I thought it was a stunt at first, then it occurred to me that it was contrary but similar to No-Shave November which I have participated in for many years. So I did BBS November last year, and like you, last year I found some things in my technique to improve. Also, If you have collected a lot of shaving “stuff” over time, the other benefit of the month is that you get to use a lot of it :)
