    So begins another month of Austerity.

    For my razor this year, I chose this custom Kamisori made by Roman Kamlash. Last month or so, I nicked my cheek going wtg. It has been a hot minute since I've done that, and wouldn't you know it? It happened with a style of razor I've used >20 times.

    Yesterday, I took the time to real dial in edge. I started on my Shobudani Suita with a slurry, then a Koma Nagura slurry. I finished on my Nakayama Maruka Kiita and stropped on a Kanoyama #80000. The edge looked great, and it felt amazing this morning. Here are some pics of the edge.

    I've chosen to join the ranks of the Mammoth Mafia this year. Kryptonite is an easy to wear scent and fits summer incredibly well. It doesn't hurt that tusk is an incredibly easy to get along with base.

    Good luck to everyone with their respective challenges, especially those doing Headless Horsemen.

    Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

    Another fine shave. There's a number of different things I like about the profile of this blade.

    I always appreciate smiling edge, doubly so when they're short. They make getting around your lips a breeze with going xtg. I also enjoy the profile of the heel. I super enjoy aggressive toes and heels. They make lining and fine-tuning areas a breeze. They can humble you quickly, though.

    Close and comfortable shave, no nicks or irritation.

    Almost nicked my neck today while experimenting with way to hold the Kami. No blood, but definitely felt it in the splash. This is why we do it!

    It was a very nice shave today. Everything was just dialed in so well. From lather to technique. BBS easy today, and no feedback from the splash.

    I don't even know if I should bother with the tags anymore, since I posted shave too late. I am also too lazy to plead my case.

    This Kamisori is amazing. I am really enjoying it and enjoying how it's handles differently from a western straight razor.

    Nicked both my cheek and my neck going wtg... mind must've been elsewhere today.

    Last day of AA. About 3/4 into the month, I forgot to post my shave in time. I sucked it up. I still shaved daily but didn't bother posting.

    Kudos to everyone that finished by MM and Headless. It was awesome to watch so many new straight shavers wrestle with technique, and eventually, start to get it dialed in.
