    August 1, 2024 - AA24 Day 1

    • Brush: Zenith - B07-P1 Boar w/ Wood Handle
    • Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
    • Blade: Gillette - Silver Blue
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist Splash

    Here is my unboxing video and my gear I will be using for August. It was surprisingly soft and comfortable on it's first use. I've only used HoM soap two times before and it lathers and performs like a dream. I am psyched to use this gear for a month straight. I actually love the WS-23 in this splash.

    Edit: Forgot to add that I am doing the MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode.

    Brush seemed slightly softer today, but this Zenith brush is super soft out of the box. This brush is EATING soap. Even with reloading the brush I had a a pretty thin lather. However, I think that will slow down with use. This soap makes such a goodt lather even when not optimal.

    Much needed shave after chopping trees and yard work. This brush is still mocking me. I keep needing to reload after the second pass, but the lather is always good. I can feel my face has been more sensitive and chewed up after these last couple days. Must continue hoggin' on.

    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist

    Probably the roughest shave so far for AA. Hopefully my face acclimates to boar face lathering and a splash for a month straight. Splash burnt real good today. On a good note, I only had to load the brush once today. Lather got a little thin towards the end, but it did the trick.

    The best shave yet with this gear so far. Brush is holding lather well, or at least enough for all passes. I think soaking the brush for about 10-12 minutes is the sweet spot. I tried u/tsrblke advice with a wetter brush and it seemed to help quite a bit. Made lather easier and felt better on the face.

    Nothing remarkable today besides making a great lather. Normally I toss a blade after 5 uses, so as of now I am going into unmarked territory, but the blade still feels good.

    In the spirit of AA, I am learning that I don’t need to use as much pressure as I have been. Less pressure with this soap and razor makes it feel like it’s skating on ice. I’m also starting to notice the amber and dried fruit more and less of the wood and tobacco of this soap. I really like it, even for August.

    Underloaded the brush today so the lather wasn't optimal, but still decent. Almost Friday...

    Progress with the brush seems to have plateaued, but I can tell the blade is starting to dull. The smoothness is noticeably absent.

    Brush actually felt incredible today. Blade is still rough. Loving Tobacconist so far. Off to the fair.

    Starting to feel the itch to use other gear, mostly just because I am starting to become nose blind to this set-up. Still getting great shaves though. Also have another interview today and I am much more excited about this one.

    My brush has developed a small crack in its ferrule/collar/sleeve. Should be fine though.

    Either my lather sucked today, or this blade is starting to become quite tuggy. It’s entirely possible it’s both.
