    • Brush: Chisel & Hound/House of Mammoth Beloved 26mm v15 Fanchurian Knot
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24

    • Lather: Grooming Dept - L'Avventura - Soap
    • Post Shave: Grooming Dept - L'Avventura - Aftershave (Alcohol Free)

    The bright fougère of L'Avventura was very nice this morning, especially in combination with Heather.

    The blade in the MM24 is finally getting to that point where it's just a smooth shave with no aggression whatsoever. Love it!

    • Brush: MOAR F’N BOAR
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
    • Blade: GEM PTFE (8)
    • Lather: Spearhead - Seaforth Spiced
    • Post Shave: Proraso - Menthol & Eucalyptus splash
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - Unscented AS balm

    MOAR BOAR ate more soap this morning. I think there's a strong possibility that this tub will be done by the end of March Madness. By the way, that was quite the battle yesterday. Did that go into overtime? I might have gone to bed too early.

    Friday!! Coffee is required to deal with the trainwreck of a day that awaits me. Patience and probably a lot of deep breathing will also be required for today. Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.

    • Brush: Wolf Whiskers w/ Elite 3-band premium badger knot
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24 #MMarch24
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
    • Lather: West Coast Shaving – Bergamot
    • Post Shave: Citrus Musk EDC

    Another long and arduous week. Took today off. My grandson is coming down from Chicago today. He’s five months old. So we will probably just chill around the house. He is so relaxed and easy going. A bottle every 4 hours or so. A jar of carrots in between and of course a fresh diaper periodically.

    I really enjoy this scent. Very spring like and supposed to be nice today. And the citrus musk has a pleasant scent to it. Very nice on a spring day. My brush has turned into a great one. The perfect amount of scritch and splay.

    #MMarch24

    Now for coffee . Have a great shave day my friends.

    With the announcement of B+M Lime, I impulsively grabbed the best orange out there. The Grizz lathered the Omnibus base like a champ and I wonder why that brush doesn’t get more use. I must change that. The second best orange finished things off.

    Have a happy Friday and be kind to one another.

    March 8, 2024 – Tomorrow’s shave today

    • Brush: Chisel and Hound Brasilia V18
    • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
    • Blade: GEM (8)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Christmas Eve
    • Post Shave: Aqua Velva – Ice Blue
    • Post Shave: Zingari – Unscented
    • Fragrance: Noble Otter – Two Kings

    Normally I’m shaving with the second contestant in yesterday’s matchup but as mentioned I own a lot of Heather’s skin care stuff, but no soap. So I did tomorrow’s shave today, and will do it tomorrow, and probably Sunday as well because I really need to kill this sample of Christmas eve to make room for more samples. And eventually to make room for tubs under my sink. I did nick myself twice on each side of my chin, so hopefully that’s not for tomorrow.

    And #MMarch24 rolls on, by the end of today u/Impressive_Donut114 will have managed to hit the 2 entry tier. And in just over a week he’ll have maxed his entries (something I didn’t plan on) The rest of you are slacking. (Nevertheless, we’re well on our way to the top spot for this month on the hardware report).

    I’m new to these GEM PTFE coated single edge blades. Seems to be just fine after six uses. How often do people generally replace them if using daily?

    My shortened work week is over now. Next week is going to be tough. Today was the best feeling shave this month with the MM24. Still one of the noisiest razors I own, but really is settling in nicely now. I think these GEM blades need to wear off the coating from the edge before they feel better. Of course that could just be all in my head. I do recall watching the blade progress that u/gcgallant showed over a month of MMOC. You could watch the line of the coating moving back away from the edge until it wore past the bevel.
