Share your Austere August shave of the day for Monday!
Early morning back-to-work shave. Today’s the first day I’m back in the office since a month ago.
#Monthofweckoning
That’s a lot of time off! Hope you enjoyed it!
Oh, I was ‘only’ off for two weeks, the rest was WFH :D
How’s the heat dome? Here in France, 4 counties have been placed on highest alert 🔥🥵🔥
C’est la meeeeeerde 🥵
All of Switzerland (except the Alps, of course) are under heat alert. I’m ready for winter

| The blade starts becoming tuggy - I hope it will smooth out soon. I was more generous with the soap today, but I still need MOAR. I should shave earlier: I felt tired, and gave myself 2 weepers on the first pass. At least this setup is refreshing. |
Otherwise: back at work, and a day of errands.
Have a good night!
Austere August: Day: 21
MRTNG’s Ultra Nightmare Mode
Midnight Stag Challenge
Slurry lather in a bowl today. 5 swirls off a dry puck. A bit thin. Fast. And let’s bring in a bowl, and see what happens.
(Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹519 uses›)
Same: First pass has some tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel fine and give a reasonably close shave. 3 quick passes.
(Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - White Label)
I just love all the aspects of this scent!
Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.
Lather… A slurry lather today. It got the job done, but I should have loaded for longer. I used the bowl to mix it up just a bit before starting, but with the lack of load, it didn’t help much.
A little too wet, but still slick and effective.
Hydration: A Little Too Wet (for me)
Bowl: Roger Quintero 3D Printed Bowl
I use the XL version of this bowl.
(Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹44 uses›)
Same: Comfortable soft tips that do flex some, but that are supported by a base with strong backbone. As with all young boars, I look forward to the tips splitting with more uses and getting softer with use. I am generally using a hair dryer to gently treat the tips and age them just a bit faster than normal.
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)
Ending of Blades Ledger - entry form and the data spreadsheet
I should have loaded for longer
I love it.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
#Monthofweckoning
Can I get 31 shaves out of this blade? Yes. Easily. Though I do feel that the edge is dulling slightly, I’m not close to the point where I would toss the blade. I have not palm-stropped it, nor do I intend to.
The 70th Anniversary fragrance continues to be enjoyable when used daily. I am not tiring of it. There is more depth to it in the EdP, but that is to be expected.
At the end of this month, I’ll have 34 shaves on the puck. This would be a good year to use 70th Anniversary 70 times.
