Just in time u/InfernalInternal 's Gem MMOC arrived today, so I can be the only one who earns the MMOC whisperer (if I make it through august alive). That brings me right to my SOTD.
Because I heard so often "more soap, more water", I tried to use more and more water with each pass. Mammoth soaps works well with all 3 water levels I used. Did anybody question that? I hope not. But with the most water, the lather was in fact the best for the MMOC.
Unfortunately, I am a noob with the razor, had over a full day of beard growth and wanted to be super clean shaven. Blood. There was some of it. I am in doubt if the blade will last the full 30 days, but I am not here to give up.
I know that I should hold the razor pretty flat to my face, which felt unneccesary (says the guy with blood around his mouth).
In the end, I got a very close shave.
The razor looks beautifull. It's well polished and I am fascinated by the mechanism to open it (took me a minute to understand).
Why did I choose that brush? Because I like the color and it matches the mood indigo best, without being too big and soap hungry. Also I believe that with a synth brush, I have to worry very little about getting it dry on time for the next shave.
Rambler and Sonder. I wanted to prove to my GF that August can also be a nice month. Long gone are the days of the stag. Lets enjoy the summer with these awesome scents. I hope we will get more sunny days for Sonder.
