    Today was a tough one, it was a bloody good shave but I almost caved to temptation. A new shiny slant arrived yesterday and was awfully tempted to crack on with it, but this close to the end I can't give up now.

    Have a grand one all.

    Cheers

    Marc

    Making the shift from evening shaves to morning so I shaved yesterday afternoon and now ths morning. Good shave to start the day and I smell great.

    Brush was still wet from use yesterday afternoon, but, got the job done just fine. Pics in Album

    Headed out of town after church today for 3 days and 2 nights at a cabin with no wifi, cell service, or other connectedness so I'll have to drive up to the road to post tomorrows shave, but, worth it. So looking forward to a few days as a family before life gets crazy again.

    Have a good day!

    Last Sunday of AA, and I'm loving the HoneMeisterschaft format where I'm still shaving with a fresh edge. Truly concentrating on a setup without added hoops to jump through designed to make the experience challenging.

    I hope everyone is starting a great last week of AA today!

    Today I went back to a 3-pass shave. After both the first and second passes, though, the gradual decline of the razor's keenness finally became noticable. The razor is totally comfortable, and a 2-pass shave will still be a "good" shave, but I need three passes to get BBS easily. I expect that this is the way I'll finish out the month.

    Straight shave twenty-five and less than a week to go. Two steps forward one step back. Yesterday I said that WTG had become comfortable and predictable and today two WTG passes led to four weepers. They stopped quickly and my face is pretty smooth, so I’ll still call this a decent shave.

    A late afternoon shave after doing some yardwork and housework. Managed to finally install the LED replacements for the pot lights in the kitchen. Don’t want to think on how long I waited on that, but the old spot light bulbs finally failed, so if I wanted enough light, now was the time. Shave technique is getting better. Trying a little steeper angle, and getting a bit better results, but really feel the blade more than a flatter angle. I think it would be easier to get a bad nick, so really slowing down. The brush has felt about the same the last few shaves. Almost like I’m getting a stall in the break in progress. I think after raw hoggin is done, I’ll give it a longer soak and dry completely between shaves. The unbleached knot, besides being darker and more of those really black bristles sprinkled in the knot, feels stiffer which I wouldn’t expect from a taller knot. Lather is better though in the last week, but I want this brush to feel a bit more like my copper scrubby (which is actually less scrubby than this one) or like the Moar Boar. I’m sure it will get there, but I’m surprised that the progress has been much slower than my other boar experiences.

    Austere August Day 25 - The ~~Headless~~ Friodom Riders

    • Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Stanton” w/ V8 Tip

    • Lather: MacDuffs Soap Co. Wild Rose Country

    • Post Shave: MacDuffs Soap Co. Wild Rose Country

    Started the last few days with trying to put some heavy use on this soap in an effort to use it all before the end of the month. I tried incorporating the methods /u/saintbandicoot however I'm not seeing the excess usage I would have hoped. I went as far as blooming this super soft MacDuff's soap and then rinsed it not once, but twice in an effort to rid myself of this tub. I think this starts to add some validity to my theory that bandicoot was eating the soap.
