    August 1, 2024 – 2024.08.01 SOTD: AA Day 1

    • Brush: Zenith 505BC SE 28mm Bleached Boar
    • Razor: Razorock Hawk v3
    • Blade: Schick Proline (1)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Dammusi
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Dammusi

    Day one of Raw Hoggin and Mammoth Mafia. Ended up going with Dammusi. I think it’s a smart choice. I’m a bowl latherer, so it’ll take me some time to get my lather technique down face lathering. Today was pretty good, though. Only problem I really had was that I didn’t load it enough. Barely got me through my 2-pass shave. Other than that, the brush as actually softer than I expected for being a brand new boar brush. If this is the starting point, I cannot wait to see what the finish line looks like.

    I need to rewatch some face lather tutorials in order to up my game a bit, but so far this brush has been great for a brand new boar.

    Day 10 of AA. I have to say, I’m getting bored. Not of the brush or the software, but if the razor. The boar brush is turning out real nice, though.

    Starting to think either the Hawk or the prolines just aren’t for me. Okay shaves, but nothing spectacular.

    AA complete! It was an fun time, but I’m glad I’ll be able to use different stuff tomorrow. Honestly, I’d be fine with the same software, and even brush, but I really am itching to use a different razor.

    Final software level. The frag has a good bit of usage before this month, but most of the soap and splash damage was from AA.

    Brush unboxing vs after 31st use. It has turned into a great brush. Highly recommend if you need a boar.
