    June 26, 2023 – No Mo FOMO

    • Brush: Zenith – r/wetshaving exclusive Moar Boar 31mm #chonk #Oldworld
    • Razor: Gillette Superspeed #Brassing
    • Blade: 7 O’Clock – Sharpedge (Yellow) (2)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face – Summer Storm
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. – Bergamot Lavender

    Day 2 using my new to me brush and it continues to impress. I went straight for face lathering, which I usually do with CF soaps. A 35 second load landed me enough lather for 2.5 passes and 2 passes on my upper chest with a ton left over. This brush is gonna make leg day so much easier. Still dialing in how to hydrate with it, mostly because of its size. I do want to see if I can make bowl lathering work because I like my scuttle but even if I can’t an every other day rotation with my badger would be awesome.

    Let’s get to the end of the week and the start of lather games. Even my kids are asking when it starts.

    Today is actually my anniversary but my wife decided to schedule a work trip...

    Edited to add some LG PRACTICE stuff. Gonna have to not forgot that. #fof #ROTY #photocontest

    Pleased with this shave today. The ProPro is a great brush and has become my daily driver. It just lathers up so quickly and so well, make it easy on days I don’t want to wrestle the MOAR.

    First tub kill of, well ever. So that means with GRUYE I’m now… Still with one more tub than I started thanks to kind PIF generosity. I’d like to get another one in the back half of the year but let’s see.

    June 26, 2023 – New New – Testing Testing

    • Brush: Chisel and Hound “Acer Pearl” w/ V20 Fanchurian
    • Razor: Schick Injector Type I1
    • Blade: Personna Injector
    • Lather: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Dammusi

    Getting in some LG PRACTICE while breaking in some new hardware and software. I’ve been anxiously awaiting my Dammusi order and it arrives just in time for the first true lather with my new Chisel and Hound brush. I have to mention the girlfriend as she spoiled me on my 40th birthday and got me this brush after watching me forgo the Dammusi drop brush. I have to say I might like my “acer pearl” a bit better with its beautiful maple and resin. First time with a badger. I think it will be properly broken in by the end of LG. Still warming up the Dammusi off the puck but the splash and dry down is awesome. Is this where I put my #ROTY hashtag? Cheers! 🤙
