August 6, 2024 * Preshave: Hot Shower
Brush: Chisel & Hound “Rob’s Finest” Boar 25mm X 56mm
Razor: Henckels Friodur 451 No Stain
Edge: Pudding (6)
Lather: House of Mammoth Everett
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett Splash
Post Shave: House of Mammoth Everett EDP

Made the shift to a 6:30am shave today after shaving at about 10pm last night - I was nervous, but, it was by far my best shave thus far. I am learning. I have paid much more attention to using the heel, middle, and toe (which means I'm controlling where the non-used part is much better) and, along the curved parts I'm making sure not to try and curve the blade around my face and instead finish the stroke, have the blade detach, adjust, and re-go. It's been helpful. I also heard u/Zimora's voice (well, voice via text message because do any of us really know each other?) say "Don't chase BBS" as I was very tempted to chase BBS and that probably prevented me from overdoing it and cutting myself. So, all in all, improvements. Let's go.

Brush pics in album is breaking in very nicely! It's super low density and that's my only complaint, otherwise it's a very pleasant experience.

Big advantage of a morning shave is I get to smell Everett all day long - so nice.

Enjoy the day, ladies and gentlemen.
