That’s all she wrote boys. It got a little rough there on the last few days but overall it was a pretty good month. I killed a soap I’m not too fond of (I loaded 4 days worth of soap over the past two days but that’s beside the point). I now have a nice boar that is broke-in. And I allllllllmost killed this splash and balm, they’re both in their last leg.
Around day 15-20 I figured it was completely broke in. However, today I noticed that it was noticeably softer than before. How much softer will this little piggy get? I can’t imagine it’ll be much more. Regardless, I ended up with a very nice brush. I’m going to do some testing in Sample September to see how it stacks up with my nice badger and synthetic.
As far as the Gem? Ehh, overall it was good, I’m just not a believer in pushing a blade past it’s limit. I think that it’s counter intuitive to what AA is about. AA is about getting dialed in with equipment, and I don’t see how using a dull useless blade helps improve technique with a razor. Just my two cents and Gem of Wisdom.
