    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.

    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.
