#MammothMafia23

We are coming closer to the end. I am really looking forward to it. I want some variety, I want to try new soaps and my Karve and my Koraat, and show my little brother the valet Autostrop, I want a fresh blade, I want to kill aftershaves, I want to kill smoishes, I want to kill hand labeled samples.

I precision lathered the soap today as the crescent moon was too fragile. Last sample September I used a sample of HoM almond leather which lasted for more than a week. I guess the remaining soap will last for 3 weeks...

Brush before shave 26

Got in an earlyish shave today. We are heading out to do some shopping this afternoon. Been in a bad habit of takeout the last week. A Sonic Drive-In opened about 2 blocks away from us. Today I spent even more time building the lather. I have been trying to scoop a little less each day. I’ve gone from about an almond sized scoop to a peanut sized scoop. I am getting as much lather even using less soap. Even though it felt like my movements were better and getting a good angle, my neck is very irritated today, like I’ve scratched it in places. Not razor burn at least, but the splash did sting, but the coolant is taking the sting out now. Under a week to go. I don’t think this blade will stay in after next Thursday. I got more green out of Sonder today. I gave myself an extra splash after all the stinging. So I got the citrus, creamy vanilla and maybe sandalwood, and some green like a freshly cut plant stem. I don’t always get the green scent, but it was nice to get a different note out of the normal lemon creme sandwich cookie that I always get off Sonder. Like many of my favorites, there is always more to get out of it.

I am looking forward to next Friday’s Remote Learning. I’m curious to see how the soap scent will handle being lathered. Maybe it will be like my shave in LG with my smoosh of Shag. The smoosh totally made the room smell like patchouli when I got it. Opening the baggy, it was strong patchouli, but when I lathered it up, the patchouli disappeared almost completely. It came out much later after I dried off. Maybe the funky cheese will get killed by the water and soap (I doubt it, but I can hope).

Day 26. Lovely shave this evening. 2 pass with a clean up.

26-08 - Hitting the road

• Brush: Yaqi 'Purple Haze' w/ 24mm Mew Brown knot
• Razor: 1953-54 Gillette 'Aristocrat Junior'
• Blade: Gillette Nacet (26)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
• Fragrance: Proraso - Wood and Spice - Cologne

It's the last day of road shavin' and quite frankly I'm happy to put that episode behind me. I don't mind being out on the road but I also really like the comfort of my own home, and that extends to my bathroom as well. It's much better to know exactly where everything goes - I had severe space issues over the past few days, and I'm not a stacking master like u/wyze0ne.

Anyway, we're stopping for donuts and coffee before we hit the road back home, so I'm writing this between bites of a sugar crash-to-come. Hope y'all enjoy the rest of your weekend!

August 26, 2023 – intimacy over time

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

Getting to know a scent is like getting to know a spouse, it takes time. And just when you think you’ve cracked it – you learn something new. That’s how it’s been with Dammusi. 26 straight uses and I still feel like I’m getting to know her depth. And, she’s more and more fun every time.

Dundy ++, continues to break in nicely. Maybe it’s broken in, I don’t know. Sure is soft and nice, though.

Hair shaper is whatever at this point. Easy enough to scrape along my face, but not good enough that I’m going to get something better out of it.

Have a good night, all.
