    August 16, 2024 – AA24 Day 16: Over the Hump

    • Brush: Omega 50068 Bambino 18mm boar
    • Razor: Hartford Cutlery #20 4/8
    • Lather: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Fragrance: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag

    We’re over halfway now and I’m feeling really good about the progress of things. The Bambino is hitting it out of the park. It’s small, efficient, and capable of producing a nice lather. Maybe I’ll dip it in some Propecia to keep it from losing more hair. The Hartford is performing nicely and I started paying attention to the directional angles across my face. Best shave to date this morning.

    Have a nice day and kind to one another.

    Edit: Fixed my setup. Happy Friday!!

    Sliced my thumb on my razor this morning, which in a weird way reminded me how crazy it is that I'm able to drag it across my face every morning without grave injury.

    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.

    August 16, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
    Brush: Chisel & Hound “Rob’s Finest” Boar 25mm X 56mm
    Razor: Henckels Friodur 451 No Stain
    Edge: Pudding (16)
    Lather: House of Mammoth Everett
    Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett Splash
     Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett EDP

    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.
