Late post. I tried posting earlier using my Nextcloud spreadsheet on my phone, but got frustrated with not being able to click on the drop-downs. I guess I’ll keep my Google sheets version for when I’m out and about.
This marks the return of the Fatip Gentile to my selection of razors. The last time I tried to use it I couldn’t find it, then realized I had sent it off to a fellow shavers to try. I sent it just before the Lather Games so naturally we both forgot about it. I told them to keep it and ordered this one from Maggard. It’s just as good as I remember. Nice and mild, and efficient enough.

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 :)

Great last shave for the month. This is my second year of participating in BBS November; where we shave twice per day. I enjoyed all 60 shaves, and I loved going through my shaving gear in a time-condensed way.
