Aug. 15, 2022 - Gentlemen Stag
Was very nice to see my God Child yesterday. The park we went to was really awesome for kids. Take anything you ever saw that kids like and put it into one park. Animals, swings, water slides, pools, Trampolin, soccer, kicker and table tennis. She is too tiny to explore everything, but each year she can experience a new part of the park.
Today, a friend will come over for a few rounds of magic as tournament practice. I call it the gentleman round, because the way we play is very calm, supportive and mindfully. Not like my Friday round with friends where we insult each other, play till 3 in the morning and it will be loud

Aug. 16, 2022 - Stag Day 16
Early, early morning. Nothing more exhilarating than exercising in the wee hours of the morning, not a soul stirring, and rocking Stag.
Stag bless, my friends. Stag bless.

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
I'm told that a boar brush can come into its own by 16 shaves. My brush feels very good at this point and is quite predictable at making a lather. I'm making thin, slick, and very hydrated lathers so that I can keep the comfort in the blade as long as possible.
The edge photo today shows a little bit more variation at the edge. I think that this represents rounding of the edge by tiny bits material being broken off due to material fatigue. When a piece is broken from the edge, the edge becomes less keen because the remaining material is at a wider part of the bevel. Since I'm flipping the blade for each shave, I should be wearing the edge evenly.
In terms of the shave, I could feel less edge today. In fact, I have little sense of the edge anymore. Sticking to my technique resulted in a quite serviceable shave.

The blade is now getting a pain and palm stropping from last years experience does diddly squat, two weeks to go of the longest month of the year.

Yet another lame two pass night shave, you might think. What can I say? Life's very busy ATM but I'm still committed to my Stag setup 100%. I already did my MMOC headshave earlier today because my dad picked me up for work - my car is at the workshop currently, the brakes on the right side have deteriorated massively to the point that continued driving would be unsafe. 600€ of repairs according to my mechanic, but at least I can fetch it tomorrow already. Also need to visit my future nursing school for giving them a few important documents.
While others would put on a fancy cologne for such an occasion, I plan to use 3 sprays of my VoA EDP just to assert dominance. I really love the scent of Stag and VoA combined - gives me a much needed confidence boost every day!
The Tadé continues to be going well. Today I really took an effort to splay it more while face lathering - btw, to all those who say face lathering sucks because it's so unreliable and hurts your poor little skin: suck it up, buttercup. While others have ultra precision loading, GUTL, SCUTTLE or TRUTL, my method is simply FTSAJPIOYF for: Fuck that shit and just put it on your face!
Bonus boar pics: side profile ; top gel tipped boar hair.
Sidetracked
Rhino Bucket - Going down tonight
This is music very fitting for my daily scent as well as my current car situation: Rhino Bucket play straightforward classic hard rock, the kind of rock that's blasted loudly in a gritty mechanic's garage with titty calendars decorating every single wall. They're a bit akin to more popular bands like AC/DC, but still original enough for me. Found this song on a sampler CD that came with a Classic Rock magazine and it's one of those random discoveries I really treasure. Much like every ping I get for my sidetracked challenge: you folks are awesome and I feel very proud that you seem to enjoy this little addition to break up the Austere August monotony!

Aug. 16, 2022 - AA Day 16
SubstantialStag
GEMSofWisdom
Day one with sixth-graders today and not as crazy as we were anticipating. Tomorrow is another day and we are way understaffed for our unit. However, I’m looking for a new sunrise over my horizon.
A beautiful shave with the AA22 combo again today. Last year, AA was driving me to simplification and I believe that still to be the case. There’s a reason my shave time in the mornings has nearly been halved. Granted, I had some setbacks in my effort to exercise restraint. I’m looking forward to the second half of AA and moving on to enjoy what I already have.
Today’s spray
Happy shaving 🪒!

Day 16 of Austere August! Staggin on!!
photo without straight
FINALLY!!! Today was the first day that I managed to get lather for my 4th pass, and not having to add soap mid shave... I think the fault was that since I like a big lather and I plater everything on the first pass and afterwards nothing is left, today I rationed my lather and had some left for the 4th pass, albeit not the best lather or a lot, but I had some left nonetheless!
Past the half-point since yesterday, the brush has stopped shedding hair and I think is as soft as can be, I basically don't feel it as a pig brush anymore, I have no idea if it'll become even softer, time will tell. But it'll be good to have a broken in boar brush, because I don't plan buying another one, also I'm almost sure that I ain't a boar brush fan, I appreciate the boar brush and it definitely has its own character, but it isn't good enough to make me cheat on my synth brushes and switch fully to boar. One thing though is something that just dawned upon me, how will bowl lathering feel after a whole month of face scrubs😅 because face scrubs is actually nice, a good massage!
If it were anything else than midnight stag, I would've quit already... I can just now appreciate how tough you guys with the unscented challenge are... Maybe a full month of Tres Matres would have been the other scent that could make me keep on trucking!
