Down On The Farm For AA - Day 31

  • Brush: Omega 81151
  • Razor: Merkur 37C
  • Blade: Astra SP (18)
  • Lather: Stirling - Scots Pine Sheep
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Baker Street splash
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial unscented AS balm
  • Tags: $RawHoggin $ShepherdsofStirling

31 Days of Austerity have come to an end. Some lessons:

  • 16 1/2 years of owning this Merkur 37C and there's no way it's ever leaving the den. Still just a fantastic razor for me.

  • For as soft as this boar brush is, it's awesome. This Omega is far better than my Semogue 1800, as far as soft boars go. This is a great face-lathering brush and I got another amazing lather this morning. Brush day 1 pic and then today's before and after here.

  • Sheep is easily a top 3 base for me. If the scent options were wider, more people would realize how good it is.

  • It's been a real challenge finding songs that I like to meet my own personal $BarnyardChallenge musical quest to celebrate a month of sheep and hogs, but I've had fun running down some musical rabbit holes in the process. So to close out AA24, I leave you with a sheep (well, lamb) song from Genesis and something more current from Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs.

I raise my coffee cup to my fellow AAers! Try to enjoy your day and remember to be kind to one another.
