    No let up in this razor still don't a great job. I suspect I am going to get a little antsy towards the end of this AA, I've got a load of TSF enroute (sadly no splash) and I know I'm going to be itching to try it. Oh well, it's not like I'm slumming it.

    Brush is performing very well, it's holding and releasing a decent amount of lather now. I remember the SOC last year struggled when soaking so was more of a splash and go, this one though seems to be able to cope well.

    Cracking shave and hope everyone has a grand day.

    Cheers

    Marc

    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....

    Flipped my shave schedule today as I'm headed back to work after some time off. I shaved late enough last night that I went right in for a single AGT pass. Face is feeling super smooth. I did give myself a light whack on the chin, but I should survive.

    I have moved to 2 toots of the EDP as the nose blindness begins and because I just need more Shire in my life.

    Now that's what I call Austerity Vol. 13

    Lucky #13! But not for me. The cold I’ve been battling for four days hit hard last night. Yet I managed to get up and have a decent shower and shave.

    I think this blade is starting to show signs that 31 days is going to be torturous. The second pass on my neck didn’t feel like it did much. And lots of feedback from the alum too.

    Man my LG2024 prize possession blackbird was a little rough with me this morning. I never get weepers but today it was slightly rough with my face!! Just one bleeder but it stung unusually more than ever. It could have something to do with me rushing to get out of the door late to work. The balm made it up for it though so now everything feels better. Ya’ll have a good day.

    The Black Boar knot. You can see how it seems a hair full of uneven cuts like the head of Robert Smith, and my struggle (you can't see it but try to imagine) to remove pieces of bristles embedded in the soap with tweezers. At least the stink has disminished noticeably.

    .#NoStrop The maintenance-free Friodur continues to give awesome shaves.

    Don't forget the wonderful lather from Sonder, take a look at this first pass lather. What do you think about it?

    Apologies to Robert

    I cut the load time down to ~20 seconds, today. It's monotonous, but I feel like the process is quicker. If I had to shave every morning, I'd probably have to use the same/similar kit during the week like this and save the fun stuff for the weekend.

    Decided to go for smooth and did 3 passes. Don’t think I’ll do that again. Yes, it is a bit smoother, but it was pretty tuggy. Don’t think it is worth the effort unless I get a lot better at this. Lathering was a little easier tonight. I didn’t shake out as much water, and the brush loaded about the same, but it took less work to build the lather on the face. Pretty decent really, and the brush seemed a lot better today. For Sonder, I haven’t brought out the EdT, but kind of want to add it to get more scent. I didn’t go with it this month because I didn’t think my sample spray would last all month. Next full size EdT may be Sonder or Voices. Haven’t decided yet, but won’t be getting both, at least not this year.

    Ladies and gentleman we finally have some fucking volume! Truly great lather today. Super slick, tons of volume for cushion. Was able to do 3 passes plus touch ups and still have what you see in that image left over with no reloading at all. Huge thanks to Enndeegee and Sms for the tutorial on loading unbroken boars. I was legitimately hating this brush and now I’m excited for AA again.
