    This Sheep base really is so good and this tub is going to be around for awhile post-AA since this brush is not a soap eater.

    Speaking of the brush, before and after pics here

    $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration provided by Orville Peck. I am not a fan of country music produced after 1980. To me, it all sounds the same and is just way overproduced crap. And then along came Orville Peck with his debut album Pony harkening back to classic country sounds of yore. His baritone voice is awesome and the songs are top notch. Hell, I even saw him when he was here in the Pine Tree State and it was a cool experience. So let's give Pony as spin today, shall we?

    Coffee is ready to spin my morning around. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    Great BBS shave. No irritation with minor weepers on my upper lip and neck. Another better shave in the books this month. The challenge isn’t over just yet, as we got one more week to go after this. Let’s make the most of the final week before the challenge comes to an end. Overall, great shave heading into the weekend.

    August 23, 2024 – Ch ch ch changes.

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Christopher Bradley B SB AL plate – Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (3)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Roam Two

    Finally decided to take a break from Orbit. The temps have dipped for the first time this summer and I wanted something less than frigid on my face. Haven’t used the Roam Two set much since receiving post LG and it was perfect fit with Varen. But I have to admit something was missing without the cooling agent. Pair that with a relaxed and smooth two pass shave and I couldn’t even feel the splash. Could smell that currant and tobacco though. Cheers!
