    Lovely shave this morning, everything still going strong.

    I suspect I'll be refreshing on Sunday. I've only got a couple of finishers but I suspect I'll go for the slate again seeing as that's what I kicked this off with.

    Have a grand one all.

    Cheers

    Managed an earlier have today without a full day drive before it. Much better today, but I think it is time to hone. Blade felt a little tuggy, so I will give it a whirl tonight. Hopefully my SIL has a tray or pan to soak the stones. I didn’t bring one with me.

    Brush before today’s shave. I tried to get a decent focus on the bristle with a three way split developing.

    Today is AA hump day. The unbleached boar is still slowly-but-steadily breaking-in, with tips starting to split, knot splaying just enough for the bristles to be scrubby without being scritchy, and the backbone being right where I like it. If the current splay and backbone are retained when the knot becomes fully broken in, I can see this becoming my favorite brush. Time will tell.

    Here's the Day 16 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

    Austere August - Day 16

    • Brush: Ever-Ready 200 - GDMG Black Boar 27mm
    • Razor: Zwilling J.A. Henckels - Friodur 14

    The disintegrated Black Boar knot and a brittle bristle's bit in the soap

    On the equator of August (damn I went spell it again "agoust", I've to think twice about this word), the brush is falling to pieces but performing well. Stink almost has gone, the tips are soft enough and the backbone not too stiff or loose.

    The Frioudur is awesome even without stropping with almost the same keenness and more smoothest than the first day.

    I have used half of the aftershave, as I rarely use aftershave and much less with alcohol, I don't know if I'm wasting it. I'll need another bottle by the end of AA, because I'm enjoying it. Alcohol aftershave has been a no-go for me, it tended to cause me ingrow hairs but this time it wasn't like that, which won't be good for my wallet.

    Straight shave sixteen. We’re past the halfway point now which is good because the blade isn’t really tugging yet, but it’s noticeably less sharp than it was at the beginning of the month.

    You know what’s cool? A fresh blade. Had to bin the first Wiz after 15. I could have pushed some more but no way was I getting to 31. Started really getting a bit of irritation. No thank you. Not sure how you wild men with 300 shaves per blade do it. Life’s too short mang. This Wiz, ill shave til it don’t feel no good and report back.

    Forgot to weigh the tub after another 5 loads, I guess I’ll go to ten and see how my average is.

    Also, people who do half marathons. They’re cool. My hats off to them. Cool cats.

    After last nights near perfect 3 pass shave, I nicked myself today. Annoying. I was overconfident and not paying close enough attention or shaving carefully enough. After my first pass I thought to myself, "wow, I can do this almost as quickly as a DE."

    Shut up, you fool. No you cannot.

    Not bad, but, annoying. Otherwise the shave was good.
