    Decent shave this morning to kick off the week, still enjoying the Beloved, which speaks to how good it is. Usually I have the attention span of a gnat and flit between scents, fingers crossed I'll be able to replace when I eventually kill it.

    I dunno if I was late for other reasons, or if my GEM Mondays and DE Tuesdays are really faster than my straight razor shaves. In the end, I was at least 15 minutes later at work than usual. Let’s blame it on the tiramisu I made for my colleagues and me. The shave went fine today. I chose to do the lather more pasty.

    I realized that it would be funny to have a Christmas calendar starting today, as it’s only 24 days till our public office wedding. $honemeisterschaft

    Decided to do an against the grain pass on the neck today. Went pretty well. It's funny I start shaving the side that requires my left hand, and I'll look down and realize the razor has wandered to my right hand at some point.

    The Black Boar knot

    The knot is deeply disappointing to me. If there is one thing I can't stand in a brush, it is excessive bristle shredding. Yesterday I realized that the soap had sections of bristles of approximately 5mm, I could count more than 15, today I put less pressure loading the soap just the tips with almost no force. But they continue to break, they are so britle, today I count more than 6. It's too soon in August, let's see how it evolves.

    The Friodur is outstanding #nostroping and it's performing almost like the first day.

    Nice shave after a fun day at the pool today. The brush held enough lather for two passes. Makin' progress...

    So far I’m ahead on shaves without blood 3-2. At the last second, gave a little too much pressure near my jawline, ended up with a weeper bring blood a point closer. Still better than week 1 with a Weck. Otherwise the shave went well. Loading the brush and building the lather took a long time. I think if I can find where I left the empty sample spray bottles, I’ll switch to misting my face instead of using the brush to grab water. I also shaved the back of my neck, but will need my wife to even it up. Hard to get a straight line by feel alone.

    Work was indeed a shitshow. Did a nice easy 2 pass shave tonight, the boar brush held enough lather to do both passes without a reload! I'm pretty blown away by how quickly this thing is breaking in, reminds me of the Maggard boar but with no gel. I typically shave in the AM but these evening shaves have been therapeutic.
