Austere August: Day: 3MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode#Monthofweckoning#RawHoggin

Dear u/PrideTwo

As I approach the third day of this austere August, I find myself contemplating the previous day's shaving experience. In a moment of curiosity, I attempted to wash away the lingering stench of #WAR, and while it worked to some extent, my comrades reminded me that such reprieves go against the spirit of this mighty battle I'm engaged in. Thus, I shall embrace the challenges and endure the scent throughout the rest of this month.

Today, I made adjustments to my shaving technique, altering the angle of my blade by a few degrees. This small change resulted in a significantly smoother shave, although my face appears to be slightly more irritated than the previous two days. Nevertheless, I remain resolute in my quest for the perfect technique, which is the primary reason behind this #MonthOfWeckenoning.

In the realm of soap, #WAR's potent scent still looms large during the lathering process. However, today, I focused on the soap base itself, as I had not experienced the Omnibus soap base from Barrister and Mann before. To my pleasant surprise, the soap proved to be highly effective. It easily lathers and creates a protective layer that allows the razor to glide smoothly over my skin. I am impressed and can foresee using other soaps from this brand once the reign of #WAR comes to an end.

As for my #RawHoggin Omega Pro 48 brush, it continues to shed a few more hairs this morning, a reminder of its ongoing break-in process. The scent of #WAR still lingers on the brush, but it performs remarkably well for an unseasoned brush. I find myself looking forward to witnessing its evolution as we venture further into this month.

As the third day draws to a close, I am filled with a mix of determination and curiosity. The challenges may be daunting, but with each passing day, I grow more adept in my skills and more attuned to the nuances of #WAR. Until tomorrow, my journal, I shall press on in this most austere of shaving battles.

Thank you... I Hate you....
