Austere August Day 8

• 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 - 8th shave)
• Lather: Gentleman's Nod Mushashi Soap
• Post Shave: Cold shower, Gentleman's Nod Musashi Splash
• Tags: $UltraNightmareMode $RawHoggin

Day 8: Continued with WTG / XTG. Skin is feeling better. Today I did more weigh-ins because wtf else is there to do when you can only shave with one setup? Post-shave (after rinse) yesterday was 124.5g. Pre-shave weigh-in (24h drying time with lid off) was 123.5g (this is the second time I have measured this, and the second time I've seen a loss of one gram due to water evaporation). Post-shave (pre-rinse) weight was 120.4g, so 3.1g used for the shave (I had to go back to the tub twice during the lather for the second pass). Post-shave (post-rinse) weight was 119.4g, so only 1g lost to the rinse, however today I decided to try a cold water rinse instead of warm. It took about twice as long to rinse the protolather out of the tub, but only lost 1g instead of +/-3g.

Here is an album that I am going to continue uploading to throughout the month to show progress of the brush.
