Austere August Day 7

  • 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 - 7th shave)
  • Lather: Gentleman's Nod Mushashi Soap
  • Post Shave: Cold shower, Gentleman's Nod Musashi Splash
  • Tags: $UltraNightmareMode $RawHoggin

Day 7: Continued with WTG / XTG to let the skin recover a bit. Today I did another couple of weigh-ins to add more data to how much soap I was losing to the tub rinsing after a shave. Post-shave (after rinse) yesterday was 130.6g and post-shave today (before rinse) was 127g. After rinsing today, it weighed in at 124.5g. I lost more soap to rinsing than I used in the shave. Today was an even lighter initial load than yesterday and I had to go back to the tub briefly to build adequate lather for the second pass.

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 137.4, a difference from yesterdays's post-shave of 11.3g... I'm not sure this tub will make it to the end of the month...
