Aug. 6, 2022 - AA Day6

• Prep: Shower/Wash with Warm Water
• Brush: Zenith Gray Chubby (B37)
• Razor: Wolfman Razors WR2-SB Razor Head (0. 95mm Blade Gap), WRH7 Handle (90mm Solid)
• Blade: Nacet (3)

• Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Waterlyptus - Soap

• Post Shave: Proraso - Menthol and Eucalyptus - Aftershave

• Post Shave: Osma Alum Block

• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Eau de Toilette

Not much to say today. Boar brush is definitely not requiring as much lather, and is absolutely feeling software. Its still pretty stiff when dry, but when soaking it (under five minutes while during shaving prep), its softish again. I think its breaking in nicely. Also, mine never seemed to have smelled, like others has mentioned, or I just don't have the nose for it.

• Brush: Maggard 28mm Boar
• Razor: GEM MMOC
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (6)

• Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Soap

• Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Balm

• Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Eau de Parfum

Another good shave. Continuing to not have enough lather for later passes even though I'm loading the hell out of the brush. I think I might try less soaking next shave. I think this Maggard Boar is pretty treated and maybe it's just getting too soft to pick up enough soap. Have a great weekend!

Slow and steady wins the race. This scent is really starting to grow on me. At first, I felt like it was a “fancy“ scent, and should be worn for special occasions, but it is really starting to grow on me as a daily driver.

Aug. 6, 2022 - August Austere Day 6

• 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

So today I went a little heavy handed loading my brush and ended up with more lather in my bowl than I needed. Not wanting to waste such a beautiful creation I called my young son (5) in and asked if he would like to try shaving. As expected the idea of shaving like dad really excited him, but having instilled a healthy respect for a razor blade he was a little worried about injury. Of course the real beauty of DE razor in this situation is the ability to remove the blade and allow my child to “shave” off the lather with no fear of injury. Nothing better than including your children. Happy Saturday all. #MAMMOTHMAFIA #UNCHALLENGE

• Razor: RazoRock Game Changer 0.68
• Blade: Gilette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
• Lather: Stirling - Sharp Dressed Man

Quick one pass shave, no nicks, no cuts.

Went lighter on the balm, I felt a bit like a scent radiator yesterday.

Going to try to take both babies on a jog tomorrow, hopefully it goes OK.

#UNCHALLENGE

Austere August, Day 6

Feather Artist Club razor non folding

Feather Professional blade

GFT Violets soap

RazoRock Beehive 28 mm Plissoft

Today's shave marks a good experience with the Professional blade, it has come to its end as I've started to feel the tugging, I'll start the week with a fresh blade.

GFT Violets needs a bit heavier loading because of the soft bristles in Beehive, but it is very well rewarded with good, creamy, low structured lather.

I'm seeing a small dent in the middle of the soap, perhaps the daily usage speeds up the soap usage, or it maybe just my perspective; either way I'm happy with it and I'm looking forward to finishing up this soap.

Ps: I got a sample of Esbjerg Shaving cream and it smells divine.

Smelling my soaps is a way to maintain my sanity, and it makes me appreciate them even more.

Have a great weekend.
