  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Rumble (7)
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Rumble AS Balm (5)
  • Fragrance: Paco Rabanne - 1 Million EdT

Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 31th Consec / 427th Overall SOTD

Here's the unboxing picture collage of my virgin Zenith 507N unbleached boar selected for the AA24 RawHoggin challenge. Here's the Day 1 bristle break-in progress picture taken just before the shave.

I am also attempting to join the Mammoth Mafia. I chose Rumble for soap/post because it is the only Tusk soap I have that gives me difficulty when lather-building and AA is the perfect opportunity to figure out how to make a good lather with Rumble. In addition to the 507N unbleached boar, my MM24 with a new Personna PTFE SS GEM blade are my hardware choices. 1 Million is a fave of Mrs Worried so it gets the frag nod.

The unbleached boar behaved and didn't smell too bad. The GEM was a little rough, but I expect it to smooth out after a few shaves. An overall uneventful shave and good start for AA24. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
