August 5, 2024 - AA24 Day 5

  • Brush: Zenith 507N XSE 27.5mm x 57mm Unbleached Boar Bristle w/ Retro Black handle
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: Personna PTFE Stainless Steel GEM (5)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Rumble (11)
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Rumble AS Balm (9)
  • Fragrance: Paco Rabanne - 1 Million EdT
  • Tags: $Discord $RawHoggin $MammothMafia24

Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 34th Consec / 430th Overall SOTD; MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode AA rules

We're 5 days into AA RawHoggin and still no funky smells have emanated from the Unbleached Boar. The bristles are slowly starting to split, but the knot's still dropping two to three bristles each shave. Overall progress is a little behind last AA's 506U break-in, but since the 506U was bleached and this 507N is unbleached, the delayed progress is understandable.

Here's the Day 5 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
