    Two steps forward and one step back is a common trope that can certainly apply to our practice. Today was a step back, only for the fact that I got a couple weepers on my neck. Nothing to worry about.

    Have a nice day and kind to one another.

    Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap
     Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave

    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.
