Aug. 11, 2022 - Austere August - Raw Hoggin' MMOC Ultra Nightmare Mode
Day 11 was the first true quick shave I’ve had with this setup. I had 30 minutes to shower, shave and get ready and knew I’d be pushing it with the brush and razor. While it wasn’t the most enjoyable shave, I managed to get right through it quickly without any cuts or nicks and ended up with a comfortable shave.
The Brush: My first high speed lather with this brush went really well. I was able to really appreciate how much this brush has broken in by doing a quick tub load and then working up a quick, fairly hydrated lather good enough for 3 passes (I only did 2). Today I also noticed that the hog stank is still present but definitely seems milder. #RawHoggin

The Razor Another great shave from the GEM. I was able to quickly get through this shave with minimal effort and without blood loss. I feel confident and comfortable with this razor and am eyeing up some 3 pass shaves in the near future. Part of me wonders if it’s because the blade has slightly dulled or if I am really gaining some proficiency with this thing. Only time will tell. #GEMsOfWisdom
Days since last blood: 6
The Soap and Aftershave The soap continues to perform like a champ and I’m really appreciating the cooling with the hot and humid weather here in Turkey. I’m also still happy with the scent and am not growing tired of it yet.
