Back to work morning shave. My feelings may be mixed today, but the shave was on point. I'm starting to see what people mean when they say that SOCs take long to break in. This brush isn't changing much from shave to shave anymore, and none of the tips have split yet (which I understand to be a major step in the break in process for these).

SOTD 12-Aug-24

• Brush: Zenith - Unbleached Bristle 506U
• Razor: Henckels - Friodur 17
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Beloved
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved AS
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Beloved Balm
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Beloved EDP

Cracking shave, no more mishaps like the other day, and the chin as sorted itself out so it's back to going swimmingly.

Knackered after the zoo yesterday, as is always the case I'm the pack mule, but for 5 of us instead of the usually 3. Of course the daughter was knackered by the time we were halfway around so that was entertaining.

Chilled one today though and that shave kicked it off nicely.

Have a grand one all.

Cheers

Marc

As a kid I loved watches. My dad bought me a few on the flea market. Somehow I stopped wearing them. In university I had a nice one, but it was running out if battery all the time. For my wedding, I wanted a new watch, automatic. My fiance bought me an Orient “sun and moon” and is too tired to “recharge” it all the time. So she gave me the watch on Saturday. If watches were not the pricey, I would start collecting a few.

Magic tournament was really fun yesterday. I was not that successful, but still fun.

Question for the $honemeisterschaft:   What stones will you use this weekend? Are you looking forward to the rehone?

Finally got the brush to splay, but it took a bit of effort. Almost 2 weeks in and probably equivalent to around the 5-7 use of the Moar Boar. No blood again. Did go pretty slow today. Took about 30 minutes from prep to clean up.

• Razor: J.A. Henckels Zwillingswerk Friodur 17

Ditched work today cause I felt sick, so far it doesn't seem like its a long term thing. Shaved earlier hoping to reset my shave schedule to be in the AM now instead of PM. We'll see how long it lasts 😅

Austere August Day 12 - 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

Discord LatherBot told me I should hone my razor tonight so I take no responsibility for anything that occurred beyond that. For real though I had a good edge before AA started and went to refresh it on the translucent Arkansas stone and it just vanished. The last few days were an absolute struggle and my face has kinda paid the price for plugging along with a janky edge. Decided tonight to go ahead and fiddle with a coticule that I’ve hardly used since I got it, but honestly the edge was pretty darn comfortable overall. I’ll decide around the group honing day as to whether I wanna change it up then or refresh what I’ve got now. So this is my official departure from headless horsemen (u/whosgotthepudding) and a move over to hang out with the rock lovers and do some honing (u/Djundjila)

$FriodomRiders $honemeisterschaft

• Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts “Jurassic” handle with AP Shave Co. 28mm Pure Bliss synthetic knot
• Razor: Dubl Duck - Satinedge ⅝ straight
• Lather: House Of Mammoth - Shire

Another evening shave. It's nice when the house is quiet and I don't get kicked out with a face full of lather at any point during my shave. Me time.
