Finally! No more sleepness nights weighing the pros and cons of different setups for the morning's shave. And now I can take a vacation from the monotonous back and forth of stropping.

Vida did such a great job on AG 1889 (a nod to Guerlain Jicky) with its wonderful Darkwing base, that I feel a little guilty for using it in a month that we call Austere. I'll get over it. Wondeful shave today with AG 1889, the MOAR BOAR, and the Frio 14.

Edit: I forgot. I made a video of honing the Frio 14 to prepare it for this month.
