    I don't know why it has taken me 17 days to make life easier on myself and just put my tags up top since I'm just copying and pasting that section.

    Brush before and after pics.

    I'm actually looking forward to dickholing Baker Street come September. The set was my LG24 prize.

    $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration provided by Band of Horses. I absolutely loved the first two albums, especially today's cut from the first album. This band just dropped off a hill for me after that.

    Some caffeination and then the wife and I are going to wander out for an anniversary sushi lunch. She's put up with my shit, and things like my shaving my shaving insanity, for the better part of 28 years (not all of it married). alternativemusicgirl (not on Reddit) is a keepah!

    Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    What a great razor.

    I purposefully loaded what felt like "less soap" today, and it still came out to 2.6 grams. The lather was ok, not the quality I'm accustomed to. My average is holding steady at around 2.9 grams per shave.

    • Brush: Zenith B33
    • Razor: Schick Hydro Magic
    • Blade: Schick Injector (8)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Sheep - Soap
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave feat. House of Mammoth - Permafrost
    • Osma: Osma - Osma
    • Scuttle: [REDACTED] - Travel Scuttle

    Today’s shave reminded be that the HydroMagic is best on 1-2 days growth. Typically I have more, and it can struggle. But today was easy.

    That said I pushed it one more pass than I should have and the Osma screamed at me for awhile because of it. Ended up with a little irritation but it’s already fading.

    August 17, 2024 – One and Six

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Karve Christopher Bradley B plate Aluminum/Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (2)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit

    Second shave on this blade and I really appreciate it after each shave over ten on that first blade. No shame that I can’t nightmare mode it. Not to mention the Torga is getting ever softer.
