August 16, 2024 - AA24 Day 16

  • 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 (16)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Rumble (22)
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Rumble AS Balm (20)
  • Tags: $Discord $RawHoggin $MammothMafia24

Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 46th Consec / 442nd Overall SOTD; MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode AA rules

Today is AA hump day. The unbleached boar is still slowly-but-steadily breaking-in, with tips starting to split, knot splaying just enough for the bristles to be scrubby without being scritchy, and the backbone being right where I like it. If the current splay and backbone are retained when the knot becomes fully broken in, I can see this becoming my favorite brush. Time will tell.

Here's the Day 16 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
