Dear u/PrideTwo

As the battle for a triumphant Austere August endures, today's two-pass shave was executed with a sense of efficiency. While not lacking in quality, the shave lacked the usual happenstance and ceremony that often accompanies this daily ritual.

The two passes I performed with the Weck proved effective, resulting in a satisfactory outcome. My Omega Pro48 brush continued to perform well, and its gradual break-in process is evident in its improving performance.

Reflecting on #WAR soap, I can't help but acknowledge that despite its pungent scent, it provides a reliable and effective soap base for shaving. The scent, though overpowering, seems to serve as a testament to the dedication required to endure this challenge.

In essence, today brought a straightforward victory. There isn't much to report beyond the fact that I faced the challenge, shaved, and emerged victorious. As the eighth day draws to a close, I am reminded that each day contributes to my growth and progress in this #MonthOfWeckenoning. Until tomorrow, my journal, I shall continue to face the battlefield with determination and resilience.

Sincerely,

u/Absenth
