There's something to be said for continuously using a straight I wasn't too bad in terms of speed before but focusing solely on that for this past month has improved my own efficiency in the shave itself. Couple of days left but this whole exercise was well worth it.

Have a grand one all.

Cheers

Marc

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.

19 years ago today, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in the Gulf Coast. I remember being in an airport flying home for Labor Day weekend and seeing the devastating impact on NOLA on the news. It kept getting worse after that.

2 passes has been the standard all month. It’s still the way. I’m still not sure what I am using in September and beyond. I am thinking of using Sandalwood all month.

Last few shaves have not been close. May just ride it out for 2 shaves but I’m tempted to do a second luxury shave just to clean up. $Mammothmafia24 $rawhoggin $discord

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.

Today wasn’t as good as the previous couple shaves. Just felt a bit rough, and probably needed a little more water in the lather. Taking a 4 day weekend so no more work until next Tuesday. Haven’t figure out what to do besides bbq a chuck roast this weekend. Probably do that on Sunday.

More of the logo showing at the start today.
