    Not pre-soaking this brush the last couple of shaves and it's working out fine.

    Brush before and after pics.

    $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration provided by Soul Asylum. I figured after yesterday's disco equivalent of "Baby Shark" that we needed something more adult. Grave Dancers Union was the album that brought them to the masses with songs like "Ruanway Train" and "Somebody to Shove". However, the album they released before that was actually...better. So for your Sunday, I give you Soul Asylum's And The Horse They Rode In On.

    Sunday coffee is fantastic. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    Progress Album

    Really good. I'm close to the end of this tub and wonder if maybe I'll keep pushing through until it's finished, even after August is over. I sort of doubt I will, since I have 4 Stirling samples queued up. I got Oro Valley (smells nice, but scent strength might be a tad low, we'll see during the shave), Haverford (I had a sample of this back in the day and it didn't click, but now it clicks), Nag Champa (ooo baby), and they threw in Margarita's in the Arctic.

    Ok I think we can finally say that we’re in the home stretch. Brush feels broken in at this point, I’m sure it will continue to soften but progress going forward will probably be incremental

    August 25, 2024 – Woweee

    • Brush: Semogue Torga C5
    • Razor: Christopher Bradley B SB AL plate – Maggard Handle
    • Blade: Wizamet (5)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Varen
    • Post Shave: Noble Otter – Orbit

    After 25 shaves and I think this was the best lather. Semogue is really getting soft while loading and holding the soap so much better. Keep hoggin’, keep shepherdin’.
