Break-in progress has seemingly stalled for the brush. I don't feel any day-to-day changes anymore, but the tips haven't split yet, so I'm getting curious about when this might start, as I expect a significant change in how the brush feels at that point. I might have to continue this break in through Straightember.

Very nice early morning shave.

Very swift shave this morning, still decent though. Cracking lather whipped up by the boar and the blade took down the growth with no issue.

Now to celebrate the little ones birthday, kicking off with a trip to an indoor fun centre (save my ears!).

Have a grand one all.

Cheers

Marc

Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap

Straight shave twenty-three. Delightful. I’m really happy with my AA choices. Alive is still delightful each day. The brush is getting really good, and I’m especially enjoying learning to shave with a straight razor.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. $headless $FriodomRiders #NoStrop

This was my first 3-pass shave in a very long time. To date, all of my 2-pass shaves have been comfortable and BBS, but closer to BBS-- than BBS++. Today's shave was definitely a DS-BBS shave so:

BBS++;

I plan to continue this 3-pass pattern for the rest of the month. I'm way out of practice with it.

I didn’t do as well today as the last couple shaves. Not horrible, but just didn’t feel like I was shaving my neck very well.

Brush before the shave.
