Aug. 29, 2022 - Austere August 29- The GEMs are Raw and The Hogs are Wise

• Prep: Hot shower
• Brush: Semogue 610 Boar
• Razor: OCMM Gen 2
• Blade: GEM PTFE (29)

• Lather: Noble Otter - Firefighter - Soap

• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Lime - Aftershave

• Post Shave: Zingari Man Cooling Recovery Splash

#GEMsofWisdom Day 29 and the blade was a wee bit tuggy on the first WTG pass. For the second pass XTG, I made sure to add more hydration to the lather and everything seemed to flow fine. Almost no feedback from the splash so that's a win.

#RawHoggin Yadda Yadda Yadda...great brush...yadda yadda yadda

#Sidetracked On the third to last day of AA, I figured I'd go with the second band to change my musical life. The first band was The Cult. The second band to change my musical life was Jane's Addiction. I remember listening to WVUM, the University of Miami radio station, one night during my senior year and they played "Mountain Song" from the then newly released album Nothing's Shocking. My jaw hit the floor. I had never heard anything like...that!...before. The DJ fortunately backsold the song a bit later and the next day, it was off to Spec's Records and Tapes to add it to my collection. Damn I played the shit out of that record and knew every song by heart. I was in college and doing college radio when Ritual de lo Habitual came out so I got a promo copy delivered to me and spent days being blown away by that record as well. Of course, one of the standout tracks from Ritual is none other than "Three Days" which I think would be quite fitting as we enjoy our third to last shaves of AA- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmvG2GZ3S7o So u/Teufelskraft and the rest of you, enjoy the Monday tuneage.

Have a great day all!
