Aug. 9, 2022 - Not my day
Not in the mood to work today, as things are not going well.
Gf could smell the Stag even 14 hours after my shave and complained that the whole flat smells of it after my shave.
The shave was okay. Some spots on my neck could be shorter, but I wasn't in the mood to care much about it.

Lather was ok for 2 passes but 6.2g of soap was used today, right now i'm at 112.9g and an empty tub weights 25.5g approx. so in reality there's 87.4g of soap, if let's say i use 6g from now on i will have soap for 14 shaves, we are at day 10 so i'll be short by 7 days. I'll try to put less pressure tomorrow while loading and see how that goes.

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
Aha!!
Nope, just the literary equivalent of clickbait. I've had another nice shave with no issues. Really, nothing noteworthy to report; which is fine by me.
Today's edge image is pretty much on par with the previous ones. I see no interesting features to report. My technique with the microscope now is better than it was on August 1, so when there is a comfort change in this blade, I'll go back and make a microscope image of another, fresh blade for comparison.
The brush felt a bit softer today, and I created two beautiful-feeling lathers with it.

Day ten and nothing but happiness. Two passes and some light cleanup and I’m BBS. Didn’t measure today, but cut back proportionately and still had plenty of lather. The new soap and aftershave are waiting in the wings.

Today was only my second head shave of August too - electric trimmer in the shower before, later it was the tiny Kent brush and an MMOC. Feels great to be all shiny up top again! But this is about my face shave, so:
The tenth day with Tadé was actually getting pleasant. I have the great feeling that this brush could be a real awesome boar by the end of the month. It's really nice to hold, tub loading with it is second nature and it begins to look better everyday. Here's a closeup of the bristles! - It's looking more fluffy now after ten days of continuous use and I'll be curious how it'll feel on my head come September.
Still needed alum, but just because I was overzealous with trying to get a close shave. I am however getting more comfortable with the Captain; after 21 more shaves, I hope that I finally have mastered using my left hand more.
Sidetracked
For today, I'll go with a Eurodance song by one of my 90s idols: Scatman John - (I'm a) Scatman! Perhaps this sticks out from my usual metal/rock/synthwave and ambient tracks, but this is literally my childhood. However, I learnt to appreciate the song on a deeper level once I grew older. During my childhood, it was a usual Party anthem due to the energetic beat and funny sounding vocals. But the message of the song is very serious: Scatman John stutters, but he's using his singing technique to his advantage and even encourages others: "if a Scatman can do it, so can you!" - having a father who stutters heavily and me myself being prone to it under extreme stress, this is great to hear. I kinda wish I already understood english better when I was just 10 years old instead of having to wait ten more years to finally get the message of that song. It's pure motivation. Don't let small imperfections stop you; you can be so much more. John was a great fellow and together with Tom Selleck (and a few others) a good reason why I'm so fond of moustaches. RIP Scatman John - I still love to listen to this song as it still speaks to me. The beat is happy and upbeat, but the serious message is finally getting through. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

I think I am getting the hang of face lathering with this behemoth. Yesterday and today were both better. Lather still isn't quite where I like it but I won't complain about improvement.
Hope Wednesday treated everyone well!

Busy week with work. Friday can't get here soon enough. Going to try just dipping the brush in water tomorrow vs soaking it like a typical boar. I think these tips are just too treated.

Day 10 of Austere August! Staggin on!!
the worst photo I've ever made, hopefully I'll fix it tomorrow
Video
Today I went to two friends of mine over the Balkan, through the most annoying mountain passage that we have. 130 km for 2 and a half hours, and the passage is only 40-50km long..
Anyway it was a fun shave meetup, we talked about straights mostly, because one of the guys really got us hooked on straights around 1 year ago. We showed each other the new stuff that we acquired since the last time we met, which was last September.
I actually shaved near the top of the pass and even decided to make a video, similar to the truck stop I made during the lather games😅 it was a mediocre shave in terms of quality but very fun😁😁
