    • Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet (8)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap

    Featuring my one and only son, Teddy, as today's model.

    Something I considered far too briefly before setting out on this month-long challenge was the fact that, by its very nature, shaving with just one set of products would massively decrease the amount of said product as the days and weeks progress.
    Now, for most of you that's not a problem because you have the luxury of living in the same country as the artisans that make your AA choices, which means you can just re-up on your favourites at the end of the month.
    I don't have that luxury. This set of Mood Indigo was hard to come by, and I'm really starting to fear having to order a new set by the end of August. I can't live without it, but paying $60 in shipping alone will ruin me.
    I'll have to square up a bazaar deal with a very nice and accommodating person (this could be you, wink wink nudge nudge) or else bite the bullet and piss away $90+ Aussie dollars to the god of international shipping.

    But that's a problem for Juli three weeks from now. Juli today gets to enjoy another day of Mindigo. And Juli today is happy for that. He will stop referring to himself in the third person now.
