    • Brush: Dogwood / DG B14 Mammoth yellow label release  
    • Razor: Custom designed Böker 6/8 with bog oak scale and French head  
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Weekend in Malibu  
    • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps – Bell Ringer  
    • Fragrance: Dunhill – Icon Racing  

    Yesterday’s lather felt sticky, so in conclusion I should use more water. It worked a little bit better. All in all the shave was closer and very comfortable. First question for the $honemeisterschaft: Do you feel that the blade is freshly honed on linen and leather?

    Yesterday the blade glided easier over both materials than today.

    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts “Jurassic” handle with AP Shave Co. 28mm Pure Bliss synthetic knot
    • Razor: Dubl Duck - Satinedge ⅝ straight
    • Lather: House Of Mammoth - Shire
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Shire balm
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Shire

    The Satinedge has been giving nice shaves for a while now. Edge was put on by Brad Maggard. Hopefully, I don't totally muck it up come honing time.

    Have a handful of uses now with the silk bliss knot. I really like it so far.

    SOTD 02-Aug-24

    • Brush: Zenith - Unbleached Bristle 506U
    • Razor: Henckels - Friodur 17
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Beloved
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved AS
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved Balm
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Beloved EDP

    The brush has surprised me, it isn't as harsh as I thought it would be being untreated. But it is eating the soap, not as bad as yesterday (didn't soak it for as long), but it's got a good way to go.

    Another smooth run with the 17, this isn't my edge, I'd had this done previously by JJShaves, but it's been set well. Irritation free, smooth finish.

    Hope everyone has a grand day.

    Cheers

    I soaked the hog for a couple minutes today before loading. It was a little better, but it may take the whole month before it will be soft enough to splay. I like the smooth feeling of the olive wood handle, but I’d prefer a shape more like my copper Zenith. Shave was ok, but no awards for closeness yet. One thing I notice more with straight shaving, is my vision is worse when shaving the right side. I am a bit cross dominant in my eyes. That was good sometimes in Little League batting right. I’ll check my prescription, but either the astigmatism, myopia, or both are worse in my right eye. Just adds to the awkward feeling shaving with a straight. Not sure about the amount left, but I’m guessing sometime around end of week 3 to early week 4 for the soap kill. I forgot to take a before pic of the brush, but I’ll get an after one once it is a little drier.

    $Honemeisterschaft today the $FriodomRiders shaved nicely almost like yesterday without stroping. The $RawHoggin didn't change his smell nor his pricky bristles but I was able to made better lather, I think it losed some stiffness.

    Day 2/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

    • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (2)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (2)
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

    Oops, didn't have time to hone tonight, so another tuggy shave for me. That's the price of being ill prepared for an AA challenge during a family vacation, I guess 😅.

    The SOC still has a lot of backbone, and just eats lather up. But the tips are soft, so I see no major obstacle to a smooth bit of RawHogginy, and I have all the soap and patience required to break this pretty brush in.

    Had to get a reminder from Pudding how to strop but after he calmed me down and explained I got to work and I believe had good success! The shave was silky smooth and satisfying. This boar knot from Milton has already bloomed significantly and I didn't need to do a full reload for my second pass, however I did still need to revisit the tub to get a lather that I felt comfortable doing my ATG shave with. Hope everyone had a good day 2, especially my Brothers in ~~Stank~~ Stag!
