    SOTD 17-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 to kick off a sunny day.

    The brush is preforming brilliantly at the halfway point. I still would have liked the slightly longer handle, but this is more than competent.

    The razor is rumbling along like a champ, we'll see whether I notice a significant difference from the refresh tomorrow.

    Still enjoying the software, but I am starting to feel like changing it up, but will obviously keep up the challenge...it's not helped that I know I have a handful of goodies coming through soon.

    Hope everyone has a cracking day!

    Cheers

    Marc

    I'm in the phase of AA where routine has taken over. My lather is great, the brush is breaking in nicely, and the edge is still comfortable. The edge refresh weekend of HoneMeisterschaft comes just in time to make things interesting again.

    I'll try to find a moment tonight after Djunior's bedtime to give the Frio a fresh new edge for the remainder of August, and I'm looking forward to reading the other HoneMeinsters' pets about refreshing their edges and the difference it makes.

    Today’s another early-ish shave. Heading up to visit more of my wife’s family near the WI Dells. Didn’t have time to hone, but plan to when we get back tonight. Definitely feeling the edge more, but it still shaves. The soap is surprising me in how it is lasting. I’ve switched to tub loading, but now it might take until the last day to kill it. I think that will get this tub to 70 or so shaves.

    Straight shave seventeen (ever). Another really good shave. That’s two nice shaves out of the last three days. And today for the first time shaving my chin felt reasonably comfortable. I’m really starting to enjoy straight shaving, and I’m glad that AA got me to commit to it. Still happy with Alive each day too, and while the brush remains hungry, at least it’s getting soft.

    Here we are 17 days without a hone or any stropping and, if anything, the edge is more comfortable than it was a week ago. Closeness is very slowly diminishing, but I can only tell this 4 to 5 hours after the shave. I continue to be astonished. I mean, why bother honing or stropping at all?!

    Good shave tonight. Full 3 passes - not my best 3 passes of the month, but, 3 passes nonetheless. It was really excellent until the 3rd pass, but, learning that 3rd pass is still learning that 3rd pass - it's a new way of holding the razor and while the lessons I've learned thus far are helpful, well - it's still learning. That said, by the end of the third pass I'd realized how wrong I was holding the razor and how to fix it. So - there's some positive in this, anyway.

    Been a good month - eyeing (eying? - idk how to spell that and I'm not googling it) - up a nice new carbon steel razor for when this is over. Everything is so pretty and shiny and I want all the things. I really didn't need another rabbit hole to jump into.

    I did go ahead and hone again just because it was the designated weekend. Just did a touch up on the coticule I had previously used and feel like it’s still an incredibly comfortable edge. I did officially find the bottom of the tub tonight too so I’m feeling somewhat confident in the progress I’m making on this tub since it’s the 17th shave.
