LASSC BBS1/Nacet/Wald A1/Los Jabones de Joserra - Urdaneta/Xerjoff - Naxos

My last shave in 2023 and a reflection on my personal "highlights." With the razors, it oscillated between the Tedalus and the BBS1. Although the Tedalus gives me a better shave, acquiring the BBS1, or rather experiencing the legend itself, was the pinnacle in terms of razors. The shave was fantastic, and true to its name, I am BBS.
The Nacet blade emerged as my go-to blade this year—it works in 99% of cases and consistently delivers top-notch shaves. It makes trying out and evaluating a new razor so much easier.
For brushes, the Wald A1 stands out, no matter which handle. Incredibly soft, with its own uniqueness in hair feel, it consistently produces amazing lather.
Choosing fragrances and soaps is trickier. However, I've settled on Xerjoff Naxos and Los Jabones de Joserra. With the multitude of soaps and manufacturers these days—almost five new releases weekly, promising the best of the best—it can be overwhelming. LJDJ always performs for me and leaves my skin smooth. Barrister&Mann, PantaRei, or others could have easily matched its quality.
Next year, I plan to limit soap purchases and focus more on perfumes. The soap inventory won't diminish anyway, and I derive greater pleasure from owning a fine fragrance I can savor for 8 hours than adding a tenth scent from the same maker that dissipates quickly. Some sets already cost around €50, leading me to opt for a single Xerjoff, Nishane, Gritti, etc., instead of four new sets.
I want to extend my gratitude to everyone for the insightful reports, delightful exchanges, loans, or simply sharing beautiful photos.
Until then, thanks to all.![[Image: AgA1mIg.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/AgA1mIg.jpg)
