July 12, 2023 - Fluffy lather shave or potential AA set up preview

  • Brush: Zenith 507A XSE 27mm unbleached boar #TEXASPIGSTINKMASSACRE
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade #YTHO
  • Blade: Kismet (4)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag
  • Alum: Osma
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag
  • Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag

As you can see from the ingredients, Potassium Cocoate is third on the list thus qualifying this soap for today's theme. And a fluffy lather it is. Def not my favorite base, but it is serviceable and seems to lather better with a boar brush. Stag is something of a right of passage here on r/wetshaving, but not all are chosen. For the brave ones that are, once they start down the path of Knighthood there's no going back during the month of August. I'm not sure if I'm ready to use the Weck for a month straight especially with this soap that lacks the protection qualities of my top bases so that is yet to be determined. Last year went okay with the OCMM, but open blade is a different beast entirely.

As for the challenge, I hate bowl lathering. The only time aside from this challenge that I ever use a bowl is for loading samples. Ever since I started wet shaving I've been a devoted face latherer thanks to watching the likes of u/Cadinsor and Nick Shaves's videos early on. Building the lather on my face is one of my favorite parts of the entire shave so I was missing that today.
