u/J33pGuy13's SOTDs for challenge 'UnChallenge 2022'

August 1st, 2022: AA Day Numero Uno

• Prep: warm shower with Stag bath bar

• Brush: Vintage Rubberset 400-3 with 24mm unbleached Zenith knot

• Razor: MMOC

• Blade: GEM PTFE (1)

• Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Soap

• Post-Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave

• Post-Shave: Chiseled Face - Natural - Balm

• Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - EdP

And so it begins, the month of Texas Stink Pig Massacre and Stag.

My prep started months ago when I purchased my stag trifecta and the CF natural balm, along with the infamous tub of Banana soap I immediately started killing. Before that I had purchased a gen 1 MMOC to partake in it's AA challenge. Last month with the help of /u/EldrormR and /u/djundjila I was able to secure this gorgeous Rubberset 400-3 that Eld restored and DJ provided the knot for.

I set out all my gear and then remembered I was missing something... I promised Eld that I would do an unboxing video and the idea seemed to excite him, I will save the surprise and let you all experience it as I did, with a little video recording of the occasion! Thank you Eld for putting this amazing brush together for me and for the surprise 😁

As for the shave, I recorded a video at 5:20ish this morning of my shave, my first "public" wetshaving video! /u/mrtangerinesky encouraged me to continue doing videos after seeing my LG content so I figured AA would be a good start! Video link here Hopefully y'all enjoy!

Luckily my unbleached Zenith didn't seem to be as bad as others, as the smell didn't knock me on my ass when I got the knot wet. A couple hairs were shed during the shave, which is to be expected, and efter all was said and done I sniffed the brush and was greeted with some strong (but not killer) pig stink. Looking forward to see if the Stag overpowers the pig over the course of the month!

I will add brush break in pics when I get home, and my stag EdP sprays are at the end of my video here. (I need to check the atomizer when I get home!)

Day 2, my entire bathroom smells like Stag at this point. I did some test sprays with my EdP as I had to reseat the straw thingy so I got better flow. EdP sprays way nicer than it did before so I think that little venture was a success, but the stank from the sprays into the stink permeates throughout the whole bathroom. The bath bar I have in the shower also gives off a wicked odor, I had it in the closet for a week before AA and the whole closet smelled of Stag.

When I pulled my brush out of my soaking mug this morning nothing seemed different, but when I squeezed the water out of the knot I was blasted with a quick waft of pig stink. Still not on the level that I was fearing so I think we will be good from here on out. As soon as the brush hits the soap tho the scent of Stag kills off or blends well with the pig and I no longer pick it up, so I have learned that Stag > Pig when it comes to a stank off.

All in all a fantastic shave this morning. MMOC blade is starting to smooth out.

Stag sprays, I'm doing +1 each day in August. I'll figure out a better way to record the next one so it's not such a weird camera angle lol

Live shave on discord with /u/semaj3000, /u/eldrormr, and /u/joboozerum. Had a great time chatting with the lads and stinking up my bathroom with Stag goodness. Boar knot is still breaking in nicely, stag is still smelly, and this PTFE blade was still fucking harsh. Hopefully tomorrow is the turning point 🙏🤞

Monday weigh-in:

Soap - 113.62 Splash - 195.14 Balm - 149.81 Frag - 177.1

Definitely have increased soap usage but I think it's cause I am consciously loading heavier, my lathers before were ok but this past week they were definitely better than week 1. The unbleached pig continues to impress and I think I can say with confidence this is the best boar knot I own. I need to secure a 26mm and I think it'll be the 🐐 🦨 🐗

Splash and balm usage are pretty consistent, frag will continue to be depleted as I add more sprays each day. I messed up my video one day and ended up doing close to 30 sprays, thank fuck I was WFH!

Fuck this blade! Last time I have to say it but seriously it's finally over! I updated my MMOC album with a new patina pic, I think I need to adjust my technique some as I wore the patina off the wrong part of the top cap 😅

This month was a wicked fucking grind but my appreciation for rotation is back and I don't think it's going anywhere. No more soap marathons this year for me folks, I've had my fill. Miss me with that shit.

When I get home I shall take my last dry boar knot pic, attempt to destag the poor thing, and ceremoniously throw this blade into the bin. Might even crack a beer to celebrate the occasion.
