    AA24 - Day 30 - Fougère Friday

    I had to get in a pairing with Cerberus Fougère before the end of the month, and it did not disappoint.

    One more day with this blade, and then I can bin it. I'm looking forward to using a fresh blade again.

    One more shave! One more shave! One more shave!

    In other news, my brush lost its third bristle this month. Before and after pics here.

    $BarnyardChallenge musical inspiration comes from the doom world this morning. The world of heavier music really seems to have an affinity for bands names that contain everyone's favorite farm animal- the goat. There's Goatwhore, Goatsnake, Goat Semen, Goat Penis, Goat Smoker and plenty more. This morning, I'm going with King Goat, a short lived British band that put out 2 albums between 2017 and 2018 that were pretty stellar. The lead singer has a ballsy set of pipes on him and the riffs behind him are chewy as all get out. This morning I'll go with "Revenants" from their Conduit album.

    Thank F'in Goats it's Friday!! And thankfully there's coffee. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    Austere August, Day 30 * Brush: Copper Zenith B36, bleached 28mm x 50mm * Razor: Ern 22 7/8 * Lather: Vintage Williams Tonsorial * Post: Proraso Red Aftershave * Frag: Ethos Mysore Santal

    I got a fun little surprise this morning. I started seeing the Williams logo from the bottom of the puck showing through. I thought I'd use the whole puck up this month, but I'm happy it lasted. It's got at least a week of life left.

    Straight shave thirty and we’ve arrived at the penultimate corner of this marathon lap around the shaving calendar. My shave today was close to as good as I can get with a DE. Seeing as I had never used a straight before Aug 1, it really is amazing to see how well this month has progressed.

    On the brush front, today was the first day that I didn’t have to go back for a light reload for the second pass. With only one day to spare, I think we can now call this little piggy fully broken in.

    The penultimate day of Austere Augustis here. I’m off work today, so I slept in a little. Decided to get my shave in earlier than normal for me on weekdays. The ring of death is now a waning crescent moon of death. The thinner part broke off and merged with the other half. Sonder just wants to try and hang on much longer than this month. Shave was better than yesterday. Not going to hone again, but probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to smooth the edge some soon.

    I really enjoy this hobby because even 29 shaves in with the same product you can still fuck up the 30th. I couldn’t dial in the lather and nicked my neck with a stupid attempt at a cleaner first pass around the Adam’s apple. Oh well. Here’s to the closing of a great month with great products.

    Well this weekend is my weekend with my dad so I am starting to get stuff moved over, today I shaved at my dads and because the water heater is actually really good I got more smell from the soap which was cool and exciting. I need to get a mirror wiper for here though because I could barely see it was so foggy. I'm not completely sure if I'm still in any of the challenges because there was a day that I posted on the wrong thread and I can't remember what the judges said.
