Brush before shave 12
I reopened the weeper from yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been a decent shave. This month has been teaching me that neck beards are underrated. If I was just doing the sides of my face, this would be pretty good. I feel like I’m getting the skin on my neck as tight as I can, but it just grabs the blade sometimes. I’m stunned I haven’t cut up my neck much. The weeper was probably just a little bump I shaved off. I think a little flinch sideways when the blade gets stopped would be a disaster.
Brush doesn’t seem much different the last few days. Still pretty stiff and scrubby. This Semogue is going to take more time than the Moar Boar to break in fully. On the plus side, my lather was really good the last couple days. I do make more mess face lathering, but I’m getting more patient about building the lather. My Weck has decided to start losing the chrome plating. It has a bare spot that flaked off, and the area with the engraving of the name is starting to look a bit off. Hopefully it is brass under the chrome. It looks like it might be.
