Austere August, Day 24 * 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

Tried a less developed, more slurry like lather with the Williams and it worked just as good, if not slightly better, as when I spent several minutes trying to get it "just right". This will save me much time in the mornings.

Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 451 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Square Point
Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave

Straight shave twenty-four. I’ve been mostly doing two WTG passes this month, but haircut day seemed a good day to go for a closer shave. I did end up with a closer shave at the acceptable cost of a couple small weepers, but it was a good reminder that I still have a lot of practice to go before claiming victory. WTG is now comfortable and predictable, but other directions (XTG, ATG) still feel pretty awkward.

I had to go back to a 2-pass shave today since yesterday's shave was so close. And, I was rushed today so I my shave took about 8 minutes. The comfort was there, but attention to detail was not.

Little afternoon shave. We had dinner plans that got cancelled so we went to see "Twisters" instead since we already had child care.

Also, it's New Bike Day which means "New Straight Razor Day" isn't coming anytime soon.

Good shave, Brush Pics in Album

Just because I’m getting good shaves doesn’t mean they’re without problems. Mostly, they are left hand problems. I have a tiny red line on the side of my head thanks to my unsteady left hand.

Have a nice day and kind to one another.

Today I finally got a new spray mister so lather was great. My sister's boyfriend broke up with her so I have to deal with a lot of crying this weekend, first breakup and all. I found that I accidentally posted last monday's SOTD on last sunday's thread so hopefully judges spare me. I made pretty good smash burgers today and in return my brother made me creme brulee.

Forgot to grab a gear pic but I did snag pics of the brush for the progress album. This thing broke in so nicely over the month, I'd say it only took about a dozen shaves to hit it's stride.
