Aug. 8, 2022 - Headless Mammoth Hoggin' Day 8
AA Tags: #RawHoggin #MammothMafia
Soap Weight: 135.0g (1.3g used)
Today I decided to roughly count the number of swirls. I think I ended up with around 80-90 swirls on the puck and it was enough for 3.5 passes. It felt like a lighter load and it felt like there was a little bit less lather left over and the soap weight confirmed what I suspected. The brush continues to feel pretty good. Sometimes I feel a little bit more of the stiffer bristles in the brush depending on how much pressure I'm exerting and whether I'm doing back and forth strokes or swirling motions but it was never uncomfortable.
Great shave with the kamisori today attempting a technique that was described to me by u/MrTangerinesky where you lead the blade edge with your other hand/fingers to promote the lifting of facial hairs before they are cut. It definitely felt more natural when I was doing a dry run with my bare hands than in actual practice with the blade against my face, so I only tried it on small sections of my face at a time but the technique shows a lot of promise.
8 days of AA and I haven't really felt the itch to change anything up yet which is nice. Following the development of the brush as well as building my shavette technique has been distracting me from thinking about using different scents and my DE razors. The main itch I have right now is to purchase a Semogue Torga C5. 😅
