August 8, 2024 - AA24 Day 8

  • 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 (8)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Rumble (14)
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Rumble AS Balm (12)
  • Tags: $Discord $RawHoggin $MammothMafia24

Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 38th Consec / 434th Overall SOTD; MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode AA rules

My goal when loading my brush is to have enough soap to build 4 passes worth of lather. For the first few days of AA I needed to load 2.1g of soap to have 4 passes of lather. Today I loaded 1.7g and had at least 5 passes of lather. Today's lather quantity is a good sign that the bristle break-in is progressing nicely, but as a precaution I'll continue to load on the heavy side until the unbleached boar is completely broken in.

Here's the Day 8 bristle break-in progress pictures. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
