    Quick two passes today, but the fact that I'm able to get a relatively quick and work-presentable shave with the straight is progress.

    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).

    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.

    Friday is here. Nice easy shave today. I have a few pokey hairs left and they are starting to annoy me. But other than that all went well

    Did a little damage today. Will make tomorrow's shave a bit awkward.

    As always, take care and have a good day

    Brush: Chisel & Hound “Rob’s Finest” Boar 25mm X 56mm

     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.

    • Lather: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Fragrance: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag

    I shaved. I splashed. I sprayed. In my mind, I’m listening to Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band sing, “Come Monday, It’ll be alright… “ At least my shaving routine will return to normal, if nothing else.

    Be kind to one another.

    It's shaves like this that remind me why I dont use straight razors often; the razor hits the tiniest bit of acne and I get a massive cut. Also for a split second while applying aftershave I got a hint of jersey mikes subs, so that brought the shave up a little.

    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.

    09-08 - Cruising

    • Brush: Yaqi 'Heavy Metal' 24mm silvertip badger
    • Razor: Marianna #310
    • Blade: Fromm Shaper
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Soap
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Aftershave Balm

    (yes, I ran out of r-words for the title) Another very comfy shave today. No major issues, no massive cuts, just a cruise-y two-pass shave. I mustn't get complacent but I'm happy to keep shaving like this for the month, honestly. Nothing much else to report - sorry! Looking forward to a long weekend now.

    Blood counter: 4
