䷀ General Notes

The last shave of Austere August for me! I started two days late, so I’m finishing my 31 shaves two days late.

It was a great month, and super fun to play around with the Slurry Lather.

And Stag… is always a winner.

䷀ Razor and Blade Notes

(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹531 uses›)

Same: a little tuggy on first pass, but other two were just fine and I got a good shave.

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… Standard slurry lather. super slick and wet on pass one, a mature and still slick one on pass 3, and a mix of the two on pass … two.

very nice.

Hydration: Perfect (for me)

• 2 sec load with a Very Wet brush
• = 5 passes of lather

Bowl: No Bowl

䷀ Brush Notes

(Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹56 uses›)

As usual with the slurry lather, and this brush, the soft and wide spread of the tips felt great on pass one. Then the rest of the process went great as the lather developed. This method helps the strong core backbone of the brush not see quite so dominant.

During the Shave Feel:
  Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable
  Neck: Felt blade but comfortable
After the Shave Closeness:
  Cheeks: Close Shave
  Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)
