#MammothMafia23

Despite my fantastic lather and huge effort with the razor, I am not able to get a BBS shave. It's a fine shave, no blood or irritations, but not what meets my standards. Somehow I think the end of AA is closer than it really is. I feel like we have 2 or 3 days left, while in reality it's 7 more days.

Brush before shave 24

Ok, I hit a new high with the Weck tonight. I wasn’t sure while shaving, but as I am drying off now, my neck turned out pretty good. I need to remember how I did it. I already hit a bit better than this on my cheeks and jaw. Maybe if I try a new blade soon, I’ll get to at least damn fine shave on two passes. The brush is getting easier to build a great lather. When I first brush the soap on my face, I think no way that will build a lather. So dry and pasty to start, but after several applications of water and scrubbing the face, the brush is full of lather even after the second pass. Still loving Sonder, and I don’t think a month of use is going to take that away.

24-08 - On the road

• Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
• Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
• Blade: Gillette Nacet (24)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
• Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

Formatting on mobile is so ass.

First shave on the road while I'm away on my long weekend! I don't tend to like shaving away from home because I just don't feel as comfortable in other bathrooms - never know where to put my soap or razor, if the counters are clean, how the water reacts to my soap, etc.

In lieu of a bowl I slurry-lathered again and while it worked well enough it wasn't as great as at home. Maybe the water hardness had something to do with it. I'm no chemist. But as I'm fond of saying: a good enough Mammoth lather is a great anything-else lather. Tusk provides.

There'll be a few more road shaves coming so I better get used to this!

August 24, 2023 – Just a week remains

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Dundy” Maggard Boar 26mm
• Razor: Marianna #310 Hair Shaper
• Blade: Personna Hair Shaper (24)
• Lather: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Dammusi

Just a week remains in this beautiful challenge. For all it’s awfulness early, it’s really been fine as of late. Glad I stuck with it and glad I learned – another relatively easy shave.

After 3+ weeks of Dammusi I’m still nowhere near sick of it. Ben nailed this.

Dundy just gets softer and softer. Great handle and knot – glad I grabbed it on an impulse when I was still on the fence about everything this month.

Have a good night, all.

Tonight’s shave was back to that super middle of the road shave feeling, yet somehow I had absolutely zero splash feedback. I give up trying to guess how the rest of the month is gonna go.

AA Mileage: 102 miles. Had to skip another day today. It’s way too hot to go out in the afternoons until like an hour before sundown, and it started pouring rain right as that time came around today. Forecast looks good for tomorrow though.
