    Decent one after a lazy morning. Some major splits in the boar now, though there are a few stubborn ones, it'll get there though.

    Have a grand one all.

    Tuesday’s shave.

    Hope all of you are ready for school again. It’s started last week for some, this week for others.

    In my new job, my boss, a single woman in her 60’s, can’t understand why someone would need to take a day off of work due to a sick child. Nor does she want us coordinating our vacations so things like Fall Break or Spring Break.

    2 passes. No issues.

    Audio feedback from the blade has become noticeably tinny. It’s still cutting. But I feel like I’m starting to use too much pressure and going over some spots more than I normally would.

    Can’t recover if I can’t get sleep but something is always messing that up. Last night was a kid who developed splitting headache at 3am and didn’t know what to do. Oh well.

    2/3 through. Home stretch isn’t probably until the lost week but it’s in sight. $Mammothmafia24 $rawhoggin $discord

    Straight shave twenty. Nothing to complain about but nothing to write home about either. That said, having a satisfactory but unremarkable shave with a straight is probably some sort of milestone in itself.

    I got the last of the upside down hairs (I hope) out after today’s shave. Let’s see how tomorrow feels.

    30 shaves on this blade. There were 9 on it before I got it. 11 more days left and to bring it to 41. I am going to send it to pudding for a refresh when AA is over, but part of me wants to see how far I can take it.

    Here is today’s brush pic

    Tried my hand at honing tonight. I started with 3 of my other vintage razors that needed a better edge. The two I honed before seem a bit better now. The third I think needs a whole new edge. The honing on the higher stones didn’t improve the edge very much. I’m going to go down to 1000 grit and work backups again. The Friodur honed up pretty well. I used 8000 and 12000 before stropping. Might not be as good as the edge it came with, but wasn’t bad at all. It shaved much better than the last few shaves for sure. It was probably the smoothest shave this month. I need more practice, but so far feel like I haven’t wrecked any of them.

    Here’s the brush after 19 days. I got a great lather tonight. It still takes some effort to splay, but tonight had the best lather of the month.

    Today I decided to have a bit of an experiment shave where I changed up my shaving angle (brought the spine away from my face) and pushed down more on the brush. The result was a thick but airy lather and a close shave with a slight increase in irritation. I think I prefer this angle because the irritation is so little but the closeness is very noticable. I won't be sticking to this lather method, I used to have a mister spray bottle that would make my lather perfect but my mom stole it so I've been trying to learn the manual way. I'm going to add the discord tag because I don't have much time before bed.
