August 7, 2023 – Week one
- Brush: Summer Break Soaps “Dundy” Maggard Boar 26mm
- Razor: Marianna #310 Hair Shaper
- Blade: Personna Hair Shaper (7)
- Lather: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
- Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
Well boys and girls, we made it. One week of this foolishness and only 3.5 to go. We got this.
Smooth first pass on the sideburns, upper neck, and cheeks tonight. It didn’t all fall apart after that, but, there’s a reason I shave at night and not in the mornings during August – I’d rather not go to work every morning with the inevitable razor burn and nicks all over my neck. It is improving, but, I feel a bit lost on my neck. I can really only go straight down my neck and straight up it – anything horizontal is just not happening. It’s fine but it leaves me with a pseudo with the grain/across the grain first pass and then an against the grain/across the grain second pass. It’s weird and challenging and maybe I should watch some more people shave their necks but who has time for that these days.
Dundy 1 and 2 was great as usual and Dammusi continues to excel.
Overall from where I was a week ago when I first started this I’m at least happy with some progress happening. Hopefully there’s no plateau and they continue to get better.
