8/1/23

• Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ 24mm Maggards Premium Boar
• Razor: MMOC
• Blade: GEM (4)
• Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original
• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original Aftershave Lotion

For this AA, I chose to put the straight razors down and focus on something else I've found I enjoy, GEMs.

This gen 1 MMOC comes to me courtesy of u/EldrormR. My first time with it was Day 1 of LG. I really liked it then, and also liked it the 2nd time I tried it on Day 24. I appreciate the aggressive feel from it and have found it incredibly easy to maneuver. Todays shave was no different. The only thing I think that will take getting used to is keeping my goatee lines tight and straight. We'll see how that develops over the month.

I chose go with a cult classic this month, Tabac. I've only tried the splash once on WCW. My first experience with the soap today and it is not all that bad. It was easy to lather and I have no complaints on performance. It 100% smells of old people. Mrs. Pudding is not fond of it, though, I assured her (as had been assured to me) that this will grow on her. Something else I will be monitoring over the month.

For my brush, I chose to join the Raw Hoggin challenge. I sat it out last AA, but jumped on the fruits of it, The MOAR BOAR. MB completely opened my eyes to the possibilities of boar. The handle is one of my own making, made of Red Amboyna. Probably the most beautiful piece I've had the pleasure of turning. This was originally Elds via a trade. As he ventures to larger brushes he offered me an opportunity to get this one back. Hard to say no. I had a 24mm Maggards Premium Boar sent to him and he set the knot for me. I'm looking forward to how it will break in over the month. It wasn't terrible this morning. Definitely some scritch and stiffness, and I need to reload for my 2nd pass.

Knot progress:
