August 5, 2024 – Absolute Austerity

  • Brush: Stirling “Less Boar” 28mm x 46mm
  • Razor: Schick Injector
  • Blade: Schick Injector (5)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth – Smash
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Smash (Splash)
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth – Smash (Balm)
  • Fragrance: Creed – Aventus Cologne

So, a few days back I nicked under my nose. Alas this is right where my cpap sits do it’s very angry. I shaved around it, but we’ll see. I have to remind myself I struggled this much with my gem run last AA. Sometimes it just takes time to learn a razor or a blade needs it calm down a bit.

On the brush side, I left more water in the brush when loading this time and while messier I got a full shave (my usual.2.5 passes) with a 30 second load. That’s clearly the ticket. If anyone else is struggling with loading the boar, try a wetter brush.
