Aug. 6, 2022 - Austere August - Raw Hoggin' MMOC Ultra Nightmare Mode
Day 6 was my first shave from Turkey and there were a few unexpected challenges. First of all, I totally forgot that my dad’s house doesn’t have hot running water so my shaves for the time-being will be with cold water. Also, I’m exhausted from traveling and the shave was a nice refreshing way to remove some of that travel funk. A welcomed shave - nothing spectacular. Also, getting this shave posted was a bit more challenging than anticipated and I’m hoping I can keep it going while I’m out here.
The Brush: As expected, packing a damp brush left my toiletries smelling a little piggish. The brush was still damp when I took it out to use today but other than, nothing completely out of left field. I did notice today that the brush shed no hairs which was a first since I started using the boar. I haven’t been keeping track of hairs lost but I’ve definitely lost a few with every shave so far. The brush is definitely very soft and even with cold water whipped up a nice leather. It’s going to be much trickier shaving here than at home.#RawHoggin

The Razor It was nice to be able to take my time with my shave today. It was the first day in the last few where I walked away unscathed from the GEM. Aside from that nothing new to report. A good two pass shave. #GEMsOfWisdom

The Soap and Aftershave I finally noticed today that I’ve been taking a dent out of the puck. Still confident that there will be plenty for the month of August. Even with the water situation here in Turkey the soap preformed amazingly.
