    Austere August, Day 21 * Brush: Copper Zenith B36, bleached 28mm x 50mm * Razor: Ern 22 7/8 * Lather: Vintage Williams Tonsorial * Post: Proraso Red Aftershave * Frag: Ethos Mysore Santal

    I've got a sick kid at home today , so it was a quick 2 pass shave and a half-assed picture. Even rushed this morning, I had no cuts and no irritation. I can definitely say that Austere August has helped me improve my technique quite a bit.

    10 more after today and a bottle of Stag EdP might just last me this 4th Challenge. The Bambino is swinging, and the blade is banging. Some call this austerity. I call it sublimity.

    Have a nice day and kind to one another.

    Straight shave twenty-one and it was a good one other than the restrictor falling out of the after shave bottle and spilling on ounce or so down the drain (fortunately there is still plenty left).

    Nice shave today, but the blade is definitely not feeling as sharp as it was.

    Pretty much a status quo shave, but perhaps a little less close than the last few shaves I've had. I took a microscope photo of the edge and also added it to the album.

    2024-08-21 Austere August Day 21

    Using a straight each and every day is a bit much. I mean I definitely feel much more competent with a straight than I did prior to starting this month. But, ya know a nice easy shave with a safety razor would kinda feel good about now.

    Will get there. Not many days left.

    Take care and have a good one

    I officially (I think) quit marching band. As for the shave, I experimented with loading more soap for an extra 10-15 seconds. The result was a thick lather that took a longer time to hydrate, and the lather got everywhere and there was a bunch of leftover. I will continue the experiment tomorrow with a few variables changed but today I say it isn't worth it.

    Tonight we watch the Cubs while we shave - desperately trying to claw their way back into the wildcard with a relatively easy schedule for these last 40 games or so. We'll see.
