䷀ General Notes

Austere August Bonus Day for me since I started late.

This is consecutive shave num 30 with the Midnight Stag.

The slurry lather just feels so good with this brush. I just did a regular slurry work-up today and enjoyed the speed and feel of the lather.

䷀ Razor and Blade Notes

(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹530 uses›)

Same as usual for AA: First pass just a bit tuggy, second was nice, and third felt very smooth and comfy. Cutting reasonably close, for such a used blade.

Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)

䷀ Soap Notes

(Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - White Label)

I just love all the aspects of this scent!

Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.

Lather… Same for a good slurry lather: super wet, but amazingly slick on the first pass; a bit more together on the second pass; and a third pass of mature lather that felt great and performed well.

Bowl: No Bowl

䷀ Brush Notes

(Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹55 uses›)

Brush and it’s big patch of soft tips shone nicely as I continue with the AA setup for just two more days.

Slurry had it working gently at first, and then managing the built up lather well on the second and third passes.
