I had to bust out this sample of Christmas Eve to welcome in BBS November. I very much look forward to picking up a full set this holiday season.

Last year BBS November (where we add an extra Second Luxury Shave every day) was a turning point for my technique. I'm not sure I'll be able to hit every shave this year, but I'm going to make an effort.

Two passes, close results, no irritation.

Glad to see that I'm not alone this year. There are many positives to BBS November. You get more intensive access to your soap and hardware inventory, there's time optimization to consider, and there's ample opportunity to work on technique.

Agreed with all of your positives!

And I suspect (hope?) @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social will be participating as well, even if he might not be posting as much recently.
