    I’m not giving up daily variety in my fragrances, but I’ve done a few Austere Augusts in a row, so no reason to stop now. I'm probably doing Extreme mode.

    I broke in this brush during a previous Austere August, but had put it aside for a while. I’m curious if I can get the tips to change at all with more lathers; this boar knot seems stable at this point. Still not a fan of this much scrub for a daily shave.

    Wrapping up my shave, this chilly balm has survived at least one Austere August this point, so it’s time to kill it. Electric Sheep demands more lemon.

    I think I’m over Austere August already. Sticking to one set of hardware often makes for better shaves, though.

    I think this is my last day with Electric Sheep. I vastly overestimated by willingness to use that scent everyday.
