Dear u/PrideTwo
As the battle rages on in this MonthOfWeckenoning, I opted for an evening shave yesterday, resulting in minimal growth to tackle this morning.
In the realm of the Razor and Blade, I continued to experiment with my technique. Departing from my typical North to South and South to North two-pass shave, I tried something new today. For the first pass, I went North to South, and on the second pass, I shaved from the ears toward the nose. My throat received the customary South to North treatment. This approach resulted in a very good shave and allowed me to better understand the proper arm and hand positions for an effective shave.
Regarding my faithful Omega Pro48 brush, I am so impressed with its performance that I am considering purchasing another one once Austere August concludes. Additionally, I have my eyes on acquiring another 26 x 60mm boar brush, likely from Zenith, to add to my shaving arsenal.
In the realm of soap and lather, I have finally mastered the art of reliably lathering the Barrister and Mann Omnibus base soap. My nose seems to have become blind to the scent of #WAR, and I can't help but consider it a blessing amidst this intense battle.
As the seventh day comes to a close, I feel a growing sense of accomplishment in my shaving journey. Each day presents new opportunities to refine my technique and explore the potential of my shaving tools. Until tomorrow, my journal, I shall continue to strive for excellence and emerge victorious in this challenging #WAR.

Thank you, I hate you...
