One razor, one make of blade, one shaving soap, one brush for a month

I will devote myself to a Black beauty, Wizamet blade, TOBS (I will finish my sandalwood, and if it's not April, I will open my Mr Taylor), and my new Eveready C40. One month will be a good "do I still need to re-knot this vintage brush" period IMO.
Why?
I replace the blade once a week and typically will swap anything else I'm going to then as well, although I've been using my Start razor for three weeks now during which time I only changed brushes once. I only use one type of blade. The thing I change most often is soap, but I could use MWF or Speick for a month pretty easily.
Having established what works I don't feel the need to swap and change a lot. The main one for me is soap, MWF and Speick have a mild soapy scent, anything much stronger I can only use for a couple of days.

The C40 doesn't get the respect it deserves, it's a perfect little scrubber with plenty of scritch and backbone, and I don't think there's a modern knot that will give the same joy. Unless it's just dead, I wouldn't change the knot, you'll lose the character and just plain balls of that little brush.

In terms of why I am doing it ...my brother has pledged to donate £250 to Holly Bank School, a place for children with the most difficult of disabilities
If I fail, I do the donation or detail his car, probably both!
Also doing one fountain pen, one ink for this month as part of the deal.

I'd knock this out the park easily, for a year if needed, as my shaving habits have become 'boring'.
Good luck though buddy

The sandalwood seems to be holding on strong lol. I thought I'd be out of it by now.
Shame Bath and Body Works discontinued the sage and cedarwood scent. It's a great face scrub.
I'm curious to see if I can push it to one razor blade period. 3 shaves so far, probably 3 next week, so 12 in total?
