Aug. 8, 2022 - Extra close
Tonight my gf will be back from vacation, so my shave had to be extra close. On my neck are some dirty spots, but that should not matter. I might use a EdT or EDP in more than 12 hours. Guess that's okay for the Stag challenge.
The last days, I had to be very cautious with the amount of soap I used to make it through the month. Currently I feel comfortable with the amount thats left. Unfortunately, my lather is often pretty thin. As you see in my SOTD pic, I ll leave some today's soap for tomorrow. I ll need it anyway.
My motorcycle helmet and the ninja head I put on before the helmet now smell like Stag and not like cerberus anymore.

Aug. 9, 2022 - Austere August Ultra Nightmare RawHoggin Stagpocalypse
Today felt like cheating again. Seriously. This brush is consistently getting easier to use every day and was only really challenging the first few days and it seems I’ve hit the point that I have less work for a good lather every day. The only remotely hard thing to figure out has been the pomade. I’ve had to change the hair style a bit because it weighs my hair down too much. Hell, I barely used any at all today and have washed my hair twice since the last application yesterday morning and I went super light on it. I also went relatively light on the EdP today with only 14 sprays.

August 9th, 2022: Stag Stack AGAIN
Glorious stank rolling off my being today, still haven't had anyone notice or comment on it yet. I sprayed extra off camera cause I needed to reprime the atomizer after my stacking shenanigans.
Stag sprays of the day!

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
While I was inspecting the edge after yesterday's shave I noticed some variation in the width of the primary bevel. Today's photo shows an example of this. It's pretty subtle.
Something is happening at the edge, but it did not affect today's shave which was like my previous shaves this month - comfortable, close, no irritation.
Now, some of my good fortune on these shaves comes from the brush which has been good to me; allowing me to pretty easily build rich well-hydrated lathers. The brush is softer than it was on day one, but day one was completely workable luckily.
I'm also doing 2-pass shaves with neither pass against the grain. I've altered my pattern to perform an across-and-with the grain pass and an across-and-against the grain pass. This is working really well.
I'm a bit rushed today, so you're spared more of my drivel.

Didn't have time for a photo yesterday, so I wanted to redeem myself with a Stag-Stack today. I was quite happy with my composition. AA tags: #SubstantialStag #RawHoggin
Day 9 of the Tadé boar brush and it's really getting better every use now. When dry, the feel is not yet comparable to my Zenith New Titanio (my most broken in boar), but it is already more comfortable than other boars I have. There are still some bristles being shed, but it's no big deal. Somehow, it's easier to use this exclusively so far than I'd have imagined. I guess I have too many synthetic brushes and will need to do some den thinning soon...
Stag and VoA is a great combo. There, I said it - I'm happier that I have chosen the powerful guidance of the mighty Stag than using one of my Mammoth soaps or even no scents at all! I'm feeling bold and confident and don't give a damn if someone likes my scent or not. There's something great about changing back into my daywear shirt after my shift and being embraced by the warm notes of those two ultra-raw scents. Plus, I am now slowly becoming a pro at lathering CFG soaps. Despite the low price, this base is damn good!

Today I want to share something with you folks that should please synthfans, metalheads and retro-nerds alike: I hope y'all remember DOOM. Yes, the video game. A brutal ego-shooter were you're facing off against the spawn of hell, summoned on Mars. You're a badass space marine with a huge arsenal of weapons - including one who's acronym is seriously Big F##king Gun 9000... I love the retro soundtrack, even though Mick Gordon has done something great for the new games. Without further ado, here's Master Boot Record - DOOM. This synth project has covered tons of video game themes - the one for Castlevania and Megaman are worth a listen too! But this one for the first two DOOM games uses a lot of SFX from the game. I love the usage of the chainsaw as a guitar riff, or the chain gun sounds as drums. Simply great. MBR just delivers a great retro feel.

God damn it....
Right... So I dropped my phone around 2 weeks ago and cracked the glass that protects the cameras. I had a guy in a shop remove the glass and as you can see by my photos for the first 6-7 days, everything was fine. Today I returned back home and went to the shop to get the new glass put in(I had a Slavic tuning to cover it in the meantime). When I got back home and tried to make a photo, there was no focus, AT ALL... I'll try and fix the issue after tomorrow, because I'll be on a one day trip for a shaving meet up with some friends on the other part of the country. Damn I'm so annoyed....
Shave, well it was good, not as deep, but no problems. Brush is doing well, can't say I'm feeling much difference since the past 2-3 shaves, but we'll see how it gets at the end. I'm in a crappy mood today anyways, other than the phone, so yeah, no quality content, no good photo, no nothing, haaa haaa double negative😅 I'll try and read up of today and yesterday's shaves, before going to bed, maybe my mood.will cheer up.

Another great shave from the ~~Awesome~~ Austere August combo. No noticeable blade degradation yet. Today I focused on the incredible lather and took some data in the process.
By the numbers
Brush
| 55g | Dry mass |
| 61g | Wet mass |
equals
| 6mL | Initial Water |
| 2g | Soap |
Water addition
| 15mL | Added to bowl |
| 3mL | Added to brush |
| 24mL | Total water |
I applied GUTL by the book and gave a healthy dose of face lathering with the direct addition of 3mL of water to the brush after the protolather application and initial lather work up. SOTD photo is lather remaining after two passes.
Sprayin’ the goodness

Loaded for almost a full minute this morning to see if that was the issue with my lather. It was better this morning so pretty sure it's just this brush being an absolute monster. The tips are breaking in nicely though and it's a joy to use.
Hope everyone has had a wonderful Tuesday!
