Aug. 21, 2022 - August Austere Day 21
- 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
Slightly stressed shave this morning after setting up my sons room for quarantine. Always disconcerting when your child curls up next to you cold and you feel him feverish. Hopefully it’s a simple flu and he didn’t share anything with us yet.

As far as the actual shave, it was the normal Sonder joy. If I hadn’t already delved so far in the rabbit hole I could be content with daily Sonder usage. It really is a fantastic scent that everyone seems to enjoy. Unfortunately I just got some more soaps and aftershaves in this weekend that are making this month last even longer. #MAMMOTHMAFIA #UNCHALLENGE

In honor of todays excitement I thought I’d share a corresponding song. Twenty One Pilots - Stressed Out fits all to well today. To be honest this song came out relatively soon after I finished college and just seemed to fit how I felt as I transitioned into a productive adult and parent. I particularly like the incorporation of giant trikes and juice boxes into the music video. They just did a nice job of capturing the feeling of being a child and just hanging out with friends.

AA SOTD - 8/21/22; The Iceman Cometh

Razor: Merkur Progress

Blade: Astra (5)

Lather: B&M Arctique (omnibus)

Frankly, not a great shave. First weepers of AA appeared on my right jaw line and they hurt. Need to change this blade too. I remain the Iceman.

Found myself at a Brett Eldridge concert on Friday night with two good buddies. I don’t listen to Brett Eldridge, or really any country musics produced after the 90’s. The concert was stereotypically redneck, although I gotta say Brett is talented, his band was very good and they put on a great show for the crowd.

I do, however, listen to Waylon Jennings. Lovin’ Her Was Easier is actually a Kris Kristofferson song, but I think Waylon does it best. This is a beautiful song. The opening guitar notes, Waylon’s deep voice coming in, the way the band comes in behind. Great song. Happy Sunday to all.

- Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
- Lather: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man

Fresh blade for the home stretch. Such a delight. It sings.

One pass, no blood, feeling good.

Not ready for next week. I need to onboard someone and have them take over what I've been working on for a while, I feel like a teenager giving a tour of their messy room. At least there are some integration test, I guess.

Austere August, Day 21:

Feather Artist Club razor non folding

Feather Professional blade

GFT Violets soap

RazoRock Beehive 28 mm Plissoft

A great shave on Sunday prepares me for a great week ahead, today was a great shave.

The blade is on it's last legs, I'll bin it after tomorrow's shave.

I'll be receiving a much awaited mail call in a day or two, fingers crossed it gets delivered soon and without any hassles.
