- Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
- Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
- Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (34)
- Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
- Post Shave: Ralon – Original
- Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man
The final Austere August Monday is here, time for a few early Weckonclusions:
- Djudging by the number of complaints, the Weckoning was a much more difficult challenge than the MMOC challenges of years prior. Many got comfortable with the Weck format, but by far not all.
- The Weck is scary: 19 would-be Weckonistas started the challenge, and a quarter of them immediately gave up after one day. Only 2 more gave up since, with a round dozen still in the running. I feel a weirdly misplaced sense of pride for those 12 to stuck to it. (Granted, with u/Old_Hiker, u/gcgallant, u/EldrormR, and myself, at least one third were Weckerans already).
- I made a good choice with my software: I'm still enjoying that whiff of Oceana, Ralon, and Island Man every morning.
- The speed Wecking trend that briefly flared up has died down again without any injuries (at least publicly), for which I am very grateful.
Three passes, good shave, this week can start.
