    My office moved to another city during my summer break, and my commute went from three minutes to one hour each way 🤮. This means that my morning shaves have now become very (too?) early morning shaves. I'll have to get used to going to bed earlier to start enjoying them again.

    AA24 - Day 28 - Witchcrafts Wednesday

    I guess it's been awhile since I've used Nemeta because, in my mind, I was worried that Varen would overpower it, but that was not the case.

    Grand shave this morning, I was hoping to be able to try out the new bridle strop plate for the supex, but sadly it arrived damaged. On the plus side the store is sending me out a new one tomorrow and doesn't want the other one back. I do like good customer service!

    Have a good one all.

    Cheers

    Straight shave twenty-eight and it was probably my best one yet. Two full passes (WTG and XTG) with an additional partial ATG pass on my cheeks and it was delightfully uneventful. I ended up with a great shave and zero nicks or irritation which I believe is a first when going any direction other than just WTG.

    38 shaves on this edge. I did some extra stropping today as yesterday’s shave was a little rough. It made some difference and today’s shave was smoother.

    Wow was it a hot one today. At 5PM it was 98F here. Our community pool closes after Labor Day, so it was the perfect time after work to take my daughter to the pool. It was great. After an hour in the pool, came home and shaved before I was fully dried off. Great shave to cap off the evening. Lather was very good. I’m seeing more of the logo peaking through, but not going to kill the tub this month. It may take a few more shaves than August. I’m guessing I will have around 75-80 shaves total on this tub of Sonder by the time it is emptied. The splash still has at least two thirds left too. I’m guessing I average under .5ml per application.

    Picture of the brush and tub before the shave.

    3 to go. Basically a bloodless shave tonight. I think about the early shaves that sliced and diced me (and I have the scars to prove it) and how far I've come. It's been a month full of solid learning.

    I do wonder how anyone ever learns this aside from hobby-ists; like, who sticks with slicing themselves up unless they have peer pressure pushing them?

    Anyway. Brush Pics in album.

    I want my badgers back.

    Today's SOTD pic has the levels of everything, for reference before AA there were 2 uses on all the software, no uses on the brush, and a fresh hone on the razor. Let me know if you have similar levels! I am starting a typing club at my school so today I filled out some paperwork, did some recruiting, and found a teacher to host us. After I got done shaving I saw that my brother was filling out a hair loss survey thing for companies trying to treat hair loss so I guess he noticed his hair line isn't what it used to be. We have the genetics that I've come to terms with a long time ago lol, imo theres no use doing the expensive daily stuff for the rest of your life so I've already done tests of me shaving my head and my head shape is pretty decent, my brothers isn't as good but meh. I think I will need a moustache when I am bald; my dad usually rocks at least a moustache, usually with some stubble but when he shaves the moustache and all he looks weird. Shave was alright but I'm ready for the month to be over.

    Day 28: Only 3 shaves to go, but it's feeling like its going to be the longest 3 shaves of my life. I must suck at concentrating, because today's shave felt worse than yesterday's even though I was trying to be more conscious about what I was doing. Oh well.
