AA SOTD 01-Aug 

  • Brush: Semogue - Owners Club Taj
  • Razor:  ~~Blackland - Sabre~~ Edit Shield Predator
  • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans - Tobacco Road
  • Post Shave: Ariana & Evans - Tobacco Road AS
  • Fragrance: Ariana & Evans - Tobacco Road EDP

So a first for everything, LG and now AA, well ish anyway, I did partake in 'Fat February' which I used Mitchells for the entire month but the hardware was switched up daily. I didn't see anything so I'm not sure whether you're supposed to announce your intent but I'll try to go the extreme and use the same blade throughout as well, a bit of a cop out with GEM, but for my first year I thought I'd ease myself in.  At least for these first two weeks it should be easy as I only have two sets in tow (this and GN Ernest), though I'll have to make sure the blade is protected for the return leg.

Also going to take part in the Raw Hoggin challenge, having picked up a brand new SOC Taj, here's the unboxing. I saw these in the early days of starting this 'hobby' and really fancied one, but just never got around to picking one up so this was a perfect excuse. I might change it up but I'll do a pre/post shave pic each day to see how the knot develops. 

Pre-Shave 

Post-Shave 

I'm getting more strange looks from the Mrs, but nevermind. Tagging /u/EldrormR as required. 

Have a good one all.

Cheers

Edited razor, I had intended to use the blackland sabre but switched out last minute to the Shield Predator, clearly I was still knackered doing my write up
