    7 more shaves to 31! I'm disliking the knot less. I've been a little rough with it over the past few days to see if it would loosen up any more, and it may have... or I'm forgetting what a good knot feels like, and this is all I know now....

    My brush is breaking in nicely, though it no longer feels significantly different day to day. The razor is still cutting nicely, but definitely does not feel super duper sharp any more. Varen remains nice, though I am starting to go a bit nose blind to what is a quite potent scent. Sheep base remains excellent, no notes there. This concludes the 13th installment of the Austere August update.

    A few small nicks today, one on my chin that took the styptic pencil to stop, but decent shave otherwise.

    Another good shave and very comfortable this morning. Left-handed is getting easier. I’ve been accepting of less than a DFS along my jawline, only because I’m sticking to two passes for time’s sake, but I think I’ll eventually work into a third pass to clean up those trouble spots.

    Have a nice day and kind to one another.

    I was on autopilot today and was done with the shave before I realized it. And I had yet another BBS, comfortable, no drama shave. The last couple of days, I have noticed stubble reforming earlier in the day than I would normally, but I can't help but rate these shaves excellent. By this time in the month I fully expected to change from my "ignore the grain" 2-pass pattern to my more traditional 3-pass pattern. I need practice on the latter, so I'm hoping that tomorrow's microscope image shows some wear.

    I'm absolutely loving the Darkwing base. This is my only Chicago Grooming soap, and I fully intend to remedy that.
