    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.

    The temperature is supposed to get up to 94F (34.4C) today, so I figured I'd do a cold water shave. Tomorrow it'll be back down to 72F (22.2C). Perfect weather.

    Great BBS shave. No irritation with a nick on my neck. The penultimate shave before the end of AA and Shepherds of Stirling month. Nothing else to add here as this was just a good shave and nothing else. Overall, great midweek and penultimate AA shave. We’re getting closer to the end, folks.

    Lather: Stirling Port au Prince

    Razor: Stirling Soap Stainless Razor-Standard

    Blade: Personna Lab Blue (4)

    Handle: Henson Aluminum

    Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving Moar Boar

    Post Shave: Stirling Port au Prince Splash

    Glad to make it through Shave Ten, and claim my flair! Even though this has been the third shave in as many days, the Mutton Tallow base is so protective and keeps my face from being too torn up. I’m also very pleased how much my Moar Boar has broken in and split with minimal shedding despite me really wailing on it to make my bowl lathers. Best of luck to everyone the rest of the way, I am going to let my face rest for the rest of the month.

    Joined a fantasy league today. Haven’t played in awhile. Heavy load, great lather, great shave but definitely excited to shave with some different gear.
