    Day 23/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

    • Brush: Semogue Owner’s Club (cherry wood and boar) (23)
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (6)
    • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

    Break-in progress has seemingly stalled for the brush. I don’t feel any day-to-day changes anymore, but the tips haven’t split yet, so I’m getting curious about when this might start, as I expect a significant change in how the brush feels at that point. I might have to continue this break in through Straightember.

    Very nice early morning shave.

      Straightember++;

      Hell yeah!! Maybe I’ll make it a Boaring Straightember. I kinda miss Raw Hoggin’.

        Boaring only as a boar pun, or will it also be boring by choosing a single setup?

          Boaring as in a boar pun. I have a new boar brush coming. I think I’ll probably want to vary the setup :)

    Loaded light today because apparently @sahenders only uses 1 gram per shave?! I used 1.6 today. Lather was fine, but I do prefer using twice as much 🤓.

    This was my first 3-pass shave in a very long time. To date, all of my 2-pass shaves have been comfortable and BBS, but closer to BBS-- than BBS++. Today’s shave was definitely a DS-BBS shave so:

    BBS++;

    I plan to continue this 3-pass pattern for the rest of the month. I’m way out of practice with it.
