Austere August Day 4

  • Prep: Hot shower
  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Government Issue with 28mm Turn-N-Shave Shoat (Boar)
  • Razor: Atelier Durdan Le Maurice 1.4 (SS Premium Polish)
  • Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (Edge 1 - 4th shave)
  • Lather: Gentleman's Nod Mushashi Soap
  • Post Shave: Cold shower, Gentleman's Nod Musashi Splash
  • Tags: $UltraNightmareMode $RawHoggin

Day 4: I spent the day in the high country and got home later than anticipated and ended up rushing this shave, which resulted in a few weepers and some irritation, but that's my fault. Hopefully tomorrow's shave is better. I'm moving into unchartered territory for me: 4 straight days of 2-pass WTG / ATG shaves. I'm going to do one more shave like that tomorrow, and then simulate a "weekend shave" with two days of WTG / XTG to give my face a break.

Here is an album that I am going to continue uploading to throughout the month to show progress of the brush. I weighed the tub again post-shave today and it was 148.7g, a different from yesterdays's post-shave of 10.9g... hungry brush is hungry
