    Day 10/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

    • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (10)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (8)
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

    Look at that bloom! The brush is coming along nicely, my lather has improved, and as a result, the Frio feels when smoother. I even managed to shave after lunch instead of waiting until the end of the day. A successful first third of AA if you ask me.

    Decent enough shave this morning, I was in a bit too much of a rush though and managed to catch my chin. No great drama, just have to be careful for the next couple of days.

    Other than that though, a grand shave was had, hope everyone had a good'un.

    Cheers

    Austere August, Day 10 * Brush: Copper Zenith B36, bleached 28mm x 50mm * Razor: Ern 22 7/8 * Lather: Vintage Williams Tonsorial * Post: Proraso Red Aftershave * Frag: Ethos Mysore Santal

    Day two using the mug and the lather continues to be better and easier to hydrate than what I was getting with the scuttle. I liked the scuttle, but it just wasn't working out as well as I hoped.

    The razor's edge is still going strong and I'm fairly happy with the improvement in my technique. That being said, the monotony of the slightly soap scented Williams and the really nice but short lived splash and frag scent are starting to get to me. I miss my variety. Oh well. I signed up for this, so I'll see it through to the end.

    After getting battered in the post-Hurricane Debby waves this morning, I needed to change the soap variable to something slightly more summery than pine. Proraso Green to the rescue. I will return to the reguarly scheduled programming of the $BarnyardChallenge tomorrow.

    I played being a good Dad and watched/supported my son's soccer team participate in a one-day tournament (they won the championship in their age group - Yea!). What I didn't do so good was protect myself from the sun. For most of the tourney the bleacher area was shielded from the sun, but for the championship game the sun had a spotlight on me. While I started the day pasty white, now I'm the same color as a Maine lobster after taking a boiling water bath. You'd think after 61 years I'd know how to protect myself from the sun, but today proved once again that I'm a very slow learner. Luckily the burn doesn't hurt, so I was able to complete today's shave without any discomfort.

    Here's the Day 10 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

    Another no fault shave, but not the smoothest shave. Lather is getting better. I can uncomfortably splay the knot with enough pressure. Still a ways to go there before it. There is definitely a difference breaking in the unbleached brush vs. my previous bleached Zeniths. Switch to a little spray bottle to wet the lather is making it less messy than dipping the brush in water, or trying to splash it on my face. The time spent working on it remains about the same.

    I enter double digits in straight shaves today with my tenth straight shave ever. Our bags were delayed coming home from the beach last night, so I was a little worried this shave wasn’t going to happen today. We had checked all my son’s lacrosse equipment and he has tryouts tomorrow, so we really needed to make sure we had them, so we decided to stick around at the airport for two hours to pick them up after the next flight (which they came in on) rather than trust the airline to deliver them on time (and not lose them) and as a result I got all my shave gear as well.

    Not my closest shave ever, and I got one small cut on my chin, but on a positive note, there was zero sting from the splash so no irritation.

    Turns out trying to use my left hand was a mistake as I cut myself while attempting a left handed XTG pass. Looks worse than it is but I did scare my wife.

    This was a quick one in the morning, thought I’d post once I got to work but things got busy. Rarely shave in the morning but a two pass was all I needed. Shave 10 and the Wiz might be its best since the first 2 shaves. Varen is still awesome, Torga is a little fluffy beast.

    Day 10, still not it. Still not a good lather with no consistency in how its coming about. Had a solid over a minute brush pressure load, but once it hits the face it just dies immediately. Have to constantly go back to load to get anything build up on my face at all. The blade has definitely slowed down as well, so that is fun too.

    Managed to re-open yesterday's careless damage. I'm hoping this does not knock me out of this. It was going well.

    May need to have a weird unshaven small patch on my check for a bit.

    Quick ~~1 pass with touch up~~ it was def 2 because me and my family need to watch tv. Usually I leave the tub open to dry but yesterday the edges started to seperate so I pushed the soap down and I am leaving the tub closed.

    EDIT: I was just informed of my mistake, so the following is my reasoning to not be disqualified by u/whosgotthepudding: 1. I basically did a second pass, I did my whole neck, chin, but simply skipped my cheeks 2. It was because of my mom and sister for family movie night 3. I still got in my experience and XTG practice on areas much harder than the cheeks 4. I'm too young to die!

    Day 10: Continued with WTG / XTG. Found the bottom of the tub, which is a first for me. I don't think I would have seen a tub bottom for 3 years if I hadn't done AA. Granted, tonight required digging deep to motivate myself to push through the boredom and monotony. Thrill has been killed.

    Weights: * Pre-shave, dry tub: 113.1g * Post-shave, rinsed (cold): 106.8g

    Here is an album that I am going to continue uploading to throughout the month to show progress of the brush.
