Forty. Gotta admit, I was a little worried about starting this month with 11 shaves already on my edge. It's held up, though. Two to go.

Another decent shave, today with both hands.

I’m really digging the Bambino. Such a tiny brush that performs like the big boys.

Have a nice day and kind to one another.

Brush: Zenith B36 Copper 28mmx50mm Boar
Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 451 5/8 Stainless Full Hollow Square Point
Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive - Soap
Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive - Aftershave

Straight shave twenty-nine and another good one. I’m really pleased with how much more comfortable I am with a straight now compared to August 1. I’m not even sure I’m ready to be done with this set up. Maybe I’ll just keep on going until I kill this tub, though I will appreciate being able to take a day off from shaving if I want. This is my first AA, but I suspect it is a lot easier when you love all your choices.
