    2nd shave was good and the smell is really not as bad as you think it to be. Boar brush needs a lot of soap so I’m really going to be digging into the puck for tomorrows shave. The splash has such a distinct feel to it, almost like a heavy toner consistency.

    If anyone has any tips on using a slant razor hit your boy up cause I’m not really getting the feel for it.

    Down On The Farm For AA - Day 2

    • Brush: Omega 81151
    • Razor: Merkur 37C
    • Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (2)
    • Lather: Stirling - Scots Pine Sheep
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Baker Street splash
    • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial unscented AS balm

    Day 2 of AA, where every day will be a Mutton Monday but not every day will be a Monday! It's another day of herding sheep and pigs. The Sheep felt so good on my face after a morning of getting battered in the waves. This is just one of those bases that more people need to try because it is top fucking tier. This brush is soft, and probably softer than I would have liked, but I'm not sure what the full break in is going to look like with this. It definitely eats soap like a good little piggy as I had to go back to the tub twice. Here are the before and after pics.

    On to enjoying the rest of this first day of vacation. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    Shave #2 and I was able to get a little splay on the brush so my lather was much better than yesterday. Still had to reload between passes though. It shed its first hair today, I’m sure there will be more. Varen was a treat! So far so good.

    Brush: Semogue Pharos-c3 Pure Black Horse Hair Shaving Brush
     Razor: Gillette 1957 Super Speed (Flare Tip)
    Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic [2]
     Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Scots Pine Sheep - Soap
    Post Shave:* Stetson - Original - Aftershave

    Ran late this morning so wasn’t able to shave until this evening. I went a bit too hard when face lathering with this new brush which ended up causing some slight irritation. It’s been a very long time since I’ve used an animal hair brush, so I’m still getting used to it. Been happy with it so far though. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

    August 2, 2024 – Counting Sheep Shaves in an Airbnb

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley B plate Aluminum/Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (2)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit

    SOTD shot for u/J33pGuy13. Up in Boston for the weekend and staying in an Airbnb so figured why not get a glamour shot with some cheap barely used appliances and peeling wallpaper. Seriously though, a great night one up here and finishing it off with a great shave just before midnight.

    Damn this mutton is slick AF. I used a sample pick of Varen last year and I don’t remember it being this good. I also couldn’t dial in a lather worth a damn. Semogue splaying and feeling more like an itchy sweater on my face than yesterday so only two comfortable passes.

    Post Shave Dos

    Cheers!
