    August 27, 2024 – AA24 Day 27: 4 to Go

    • Brush: Omega 50068 Bambino 18mm boar
    • Razor: Hartford Cutlery #20 4/8
    • Lather: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Post Shave: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag
    • Fragrance: Chiseled Face – Midnight Stag

    Another mostly left-handed shave this morning. Paying closer attention to yesterday’s leftovers, which, in the grand scheme of things, were only slightly noticeable overall, I’m finding I do quite well with the diagonal pass to keep things even and efficient and save an overall third pass. I have adapted this from my DE routine and it seems to work better with the straight. However I’m still far from proficient, but miles ahead of August 1.

    I suspect a lot of us have grown to appreciate our new skill. For any of you disgruntled headless challengers looking to re-home a razor at the end of the month, I will entertain your offers.

    Have a nice day and kind to one another.

    Brush: Zenith B36 Copper 28mmx50mm Boar

    Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap

    Straight shave twenty-seven. Four more to go and I honestly wouldn’t mind if it was fourteen… XTG on the second pass today, and it would have been almost perfect if I hadn’t given myself a small cut above my top lip. I still don’t quite have perfect touch when making initial contact with the blade and once in a while I feel that sting that means I did it wrong… small cut that stopped quickly so no major issue, but still annoying.

    The brush seems fully broken in though is still requiring a light reload for the second pass. I’m not sure if that is the brush or the soap. I’ve tried loading longer, but that just tends to leave to more lather left on the puck ready to pick up on the second pass.

    Another amazing 3-pass comfortable shave with this completely unstroped razor. I'm still enjoying AG 1889. Though, we've had great weather this past week, this was a perfect choice for the heat and humidity that we get here.

    I guess this is the year of extra credit if you are a good student because my grades are crazy, everything is above 100%, one class I have 150%. It seems like every other kid in the school is just brainrotted from social media because I don't understand them. We have a new school phone policy that is completely reasonable and some people still complain. Homecoming is coming up but I don't think I would want to go with anyone from this school. Nearby a kid got stabbed from another school, something gang related apparently. Shave was pretty good but I have my annual back to school acne and coldsore which slightly affects the shave. Brush is pretty much broken in I think. Thanks for reading my daily diary because I think that's what these posts have become lol.

    School starts tomorrow and all 3 of mine are going (though the youngest is only half days) - and that sucks. Summer is over. It was a good one, at times great, even - but gosh, I'll have it back, please.

    No more "dad's home!" when I come home for lunch. No more leisurely mornings. Over, fin, done. Yes, I know it's normal for your kids to grow up and my kids love school and they need the socialization and on and on, but, I just want them home.

    Anyway. If you're not the sappy parent time, feel free to just move on. I don't care.

    It was a really great last day of summer with them, though. They each chose a board game to play with me (and at times each other) so we had Azul (2 rounds), Marvel United (just once) and a few games of Spot it! classic edition.

    Also took all 3 on individual bike rides with dad - the oldest was 5.5+ miles, middle was just under 4 miles, youngest was 2.5 miles.

    They're the best.

    No pic tonight, I'm sure people are super upset they aren't seeing the stag setup for the 27th time this month. Sorry to disappoint y'all.
