Still having consistently close and comfortable shaves with this blade. If it were a DE blade, I would expect to start feeling a change around this many shaves (8-10).

SOTD 09-Aug-24

• Lather: House of Mammoth - Beloved
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved AS
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved Balm

Cracking shave for a hectic day. Last day today and I'm on leave for two weeks. So this set the day up nicely, as we all know you have to try and fit in the amount of work that you would do in the time off on that final day, bloody knackered.

Now though, it's two weeks of entertaining the inlaws and going out and about having fun.

Have a grand one all.

Cheers

Marc

Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 451 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Square Point
Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave

Straight shave number nine and by far the best one yet. Two passes WTG. No cuts or irritation. And bonus for remembering to strop first.

Leaving a rainy beach week in Wrightsville Beach, NC (thanks Debby) and headed back to the oven that is Austin in August.

Today’s lather was the best so far this month. Shave was decent with no irritation. I’m finding sometimes my left hand feels awkward, but still better on some parts than trying to maneuver my right hand for that area. By the end of the month I should be comfortable with my sinister hand.

August 9, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
Brush: Chisel & Hound “Rob’s Finest” Boar 25mm X 56mm
Razor: Henckels Friodur 451 No Stain
Edge: Pudding (9)
Lather: House of Mammoth Everett
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett Splash
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett EDP

Good shave. Brush Pics in the album. The handle, like jwoods', seems to be developing a small crack. Wouldn't be a true cheap brush without some risky business going on. I'm here for it.

OK bye.

But also, the puncuation there with that posessive apostrophe followed by a comma has me weirded out. Although it's probably technically correct (unlike starting this post script with a conjunction) it looks very gross.

Edit: didn't write the correct date.

Austere August Day 9 - The Headless Friodom Riders

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Stanton” w/ V8 Tip

• Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur #17

• Lather: MacDuffs Soap Co. Wild Rose Country

• Post Shave: MacDuffs Soap Co. Wild Rose Country

Disappointing shave top to bottom. Edge didn’t feel that good tonight and maybe my head just wasn’t into it. The V8 decided to just pick up the entire middle portion of the soap and there’s no telling how much got wasted. I know it’s only day 9 and if I hold the soap up to the light you can see where it’s almost to the bottom already. I’m gonna have to be extremely careful after that little mishap.
