  August 10th, 2025: AA Day 10

  • Razor: Weck - Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
  • Lather: Mike’s Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie’s Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave

  Shave was okay. Not great, but not horrible. Hardest part of this challenge so far is just writing up a proper SOTD with picture everyday.

  August 10th, 2025: Interesting

  • Brush: Semogue - 1305 Boar
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3
  • Blade: Personna P74 (102)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Test… Test… 123 - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

  Wow, what an improvement over yesterday. This blade has always worked well in the Era level 3, and apparently it still does! I guess the razor I used yesterday just wasn’t a good fit. Today it felt sharper, smoother, and quite nice.

  I finished this tester sample of Fanzine Saponifications. I’m eagerly awaiting the initial release from this new artisan.

    You and @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social should investigate this. You’re both very observant and analytical. (This is up my alley too but no way am I shaving with the same DE blade over 100 times. With my current rotation, it will take me about 4 years to get there.)

  August 10, 2025

  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Koraat 14 “Moarteen” 15/16" Full Hollow
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (Mutton -r/Wetshaving) - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Sir Irisch Moos - Eau de Cologne

  3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

  10 days, 28 passes. No stropping of the razor. Better shaves than when I started. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the mutton tallow, but the rest I think is due to a rededication to precision to touch and angle. This is fun stuff for me.
