Great shave this morning. Ring of death is growing, however, and has become a daily source of fear. I remain The Iceman.

Olsen Olsen by Sigur Ros. Love this song and video with this life performance. A peaceful remembrance of fall and winter times.

• Brush: Maggard Synthetic
• Razor: RazoRock Game Changer 0.68
• Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
• Lather: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man

Quick one pass, no nicks, no cuts. Feeling pretty solid.

Got in a nice run today with both babies in the stroller, two and a quarter miles. They felt a lot heavier than they are by the end.

• Prep: Shower
• Brush: Paladin Chief 26mm
• Razor: Merkur 34C
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue

• Lather: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Soap

• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Sonder - Aftershave

Quick shave on a busy day. Unfortunately a little too fast and resulted in a small cut. Nothing a little alum couldn’t fix though. #MAMMOTHMAFIA #UNCHALLENGE

Austere August, Day 16:

Feather Artist Club razor non folding

Feather Professional blade (10)

GFT Violets soap

RazoRock Beehive 28 mm Plissoft

A very comfortable 2 pass shave.

I'm missing the feel of natural bristles, and that in turn is making me more and more interested in some knots. I'll end up ordering a few knots to scratch my itch, another project for DIY.

I'm happy with the GFT Violets soap, any other soap would have been too much for me in terms of scent strength, especially after repeatedly using it.

Hats off to those who are using some of the vibrant smelling soaps daily.
