Day 8/30 of Side-by-Side Straightember

• Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR
• Razor: Böker – Abalone (6/8", full hollow, carbon steel, French point) UNKNOWN, BUT OTHER EDGE
• Lather: Stirling Soap Company – I, Rich Moose (sub-exclusive sheep tallow)
• Post Shave: Sir – Irisch Moos
• Fragrance: Sir – Irisch Moos

I’m this close to calling it. I’ve revealed (to myself) the edges I’ve been using over the last 4 days, and I’ve guessed them correctly: The edge with 1 mark is smoother than the other. Both are really good, but one is just better. I’ll do a few iterations of random guesses, where I’ll have my wife randomly draw a razor in the morning and I’ll guess which edge it is before checking the marks. If that works out as I think (i.e., I guess the edge reliable) for a week or so, I’ll take that as unimpeachable evidence.
