The soap moves all over the place so I have to be a little bit more careful in not applying too much pressure, at least trying to manage the soap usage have kept this month interesting.

Aug. 26, 2022 - Austere August Ultra Nightmare ~~RawHoggin~~ Stagpocalypse
Come to find out, I forgot to post a damn picture of my shave and brush Wednesday, taking me out of the running for the Raw Hoggin challenge. Talk about bein damn disappointed in myself for such a simple mistake. Life’s been hectic as hell but that’s no excuse. Shit happens, I suppose. 4 sprays today.

Aug. 25, 2022 - Lunchbreak Stag
I skipped my shave in the morning to do some evaluation for work. During my lunch break I shaved in record time three passes. Because my schedule was off, I tend to forget to post.
That's done now.

2 passes. Face lather. Average shave.
It was difficult for me to rate this as an "average" shave. The whole shaving experience was excellent, but the result was just below what I would call a DFS. Post-shave feel is great, and there's no irritation. Before I got into wetshaving, I would have been happy with this as a daily shave but my standards are much higher now.
Today's edge image is the first from my new microscope. I spent hours with this thing yesterday, and have a way to go on the learning curve before I'm confident with it. Nonetheless, the image is much better than the schlock I've been producing. Here is an album that shows my current GEM blade with the old scope, the same area of the blade with the new scope, and an image of a fresh GEM blade with the new scope.

Today's shave was very meh, nothing special, nothing bad, basically counting the days left. One of the reasons is because THIS arrived today! So happy, I'm glad I got the polished version, I cannot yet say how it shaves(that will happen in September) but it is a veeeery beautiful razor and looks wise it holds up to my expectations. It is a light razor 75.6 grams, which I enjoy, I say light, but the bronze or SS models are twice as heavy, so yeah, I like light razors.
Other than that I got sad today, because I found out that I won't have a Gearhead soap for me.. Bear with me. So I ordered 12 and they came, I sent 5 of them through courier, 3 I gave personally, took one and I have 3 more to give to people personally, so far so good, right? Wrong!!! I am going to the capital for work in about a couple of days and was looking at the soaps, and something was off in my mind, subconsciously that is.... Until it hit me. There were 2 soaps in the box, and I had to give off 3. I checked everything twice, to see who was naughty or nice, and everything came out clean. I turned over the whole room and found nothing, the only possibility is that I lost one when I went on the courier round.... So now I will give mine to the third person and be left with nothing... Quite annoyed, but I guess that's life. One could say "well why don't you order one", and I will reply, cause I don't have any money atm and I'm in a tough spot, if there is any left in stock on the site in about 3 months, I will order some, if not, I guess that's life. So yeah, bummed out today, but I always repeat to myself, there are people that have real life problems, be thankful that you are healthy and your family is healthy, everything else is just minor stuff. I will help with organizing Geartober, but will not participate, the whole thing is quite ironic :D

My latest SOTD ever, but bear with me: my young colleague M. and me paid our favourite older colleague S. a visit. S. is over sixty, but gets along with us young whippersnappers extremely well. M. got drunk AF though, and since my dad was out of the question thanks to the Covid situation with my mom, I stayed sober and drove him back to his place. Fun times.
As soon as I got back home and slipped into something comfortable, I put my brush in the soaking mug and cleaned my face. New CeraVe oil cleanser is freaking awesome btw.
Mandatory mugshot of the Tadé boar. It'll be one of my nicest brushes after all this is wrapped up, sadly it'll be reserved for 2-3 soaps max due to the smell. But a good one nonetheless.
Sidetracked
Carpenter Brut - Beware the Beast
T'was my soundtrack for the drive to S. and back home today. Leather Teeth is a short and sweet synthwave album with lots of great rock elements. This song? A rare occurrence of synthwave with vocals and actual lyrics. It's overly dramatic and kitschy, but much like other things that are, it grows on you. At first, you smile a bit about it. Next time, you're screaming the lyrics along while driving on a lone road after midnight just to get home in time for a good shave to wind down. So, sidetracked crew: enjoy this kitschy banger and beware of the beasts inside your hearts!

Aug. 26, 2022 - AA Day 26
SubstantialStag
GEMSofWisdom
It’s been a pretty good ride for 26 days and overall I’m very happy. I’m thinking seriously about putting the GEMs to better use going forward. We all know we can push a blade past it’s limits by now. Push on for five more days and we can look forward to more great shaves with a fresh GEM blade or with our old DE favorites.
Sprays for Friday
