Aug. 3, 2022 - Austere August - Raw Hoggin' MMOC Ultra Nightmare Mode
Day 3 was about on par with yesterday's shave. A pretty comfortable yet cautious shave. My third use ever with the MMOC was passible with an added third pass ATG on my neck area.
The Brush: The B37 continues to split however there wasn't much of a difference to the softness from yesterday. I am becoming more proficient with building lather with it and it makes using the brush that much more enjoyable. After a 4 minute soak, I went with a sopping-wet brush to the puck this time and it definitely helped move things along.
Painting the lather on is comfortable but still has a lot of firmness when going to splay and is still a tad scratchy as to be expected.
The brush had more than enough lather for my 3+ passes and is releasing the lather beautifully. In my opinion, it is not at all a lather hog.
The boar stench is still very much present and is getting left behind after I finish lathering. Not harsh, but definitely there. I also think MITA doesn't have the strongest dry-down scent to mask the smell. #RawHoggin

The Razor My first pass today was comfortable as I'm producing a more hydrated lather with each shave. I'm also finding that bringing the razor at a very slight angle is helping. I'm still overly cautious with the chin area and missing some growth there.
My second pass was routine minus my chin area again. I ended up getting a tiny nick which didn't return after a rinse.
After an inspection, I decided to do a third pass on my neck area and it was totally worth it. I was extra careful, used no pressure and was rewarded with a super close shave on my neck. I am really enjoying learning this razor. #GEMsOfWisdom
The Soap and Aftershave I'm super happy with my choice of using Stirling for this month. I keep ratcheting up the water with the soap and it can definitely take some more.
