August 1, 2022 -The Nightmare Hog

• Brush: Semogue 820
• Razor: Merkur 34C
• Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum
• Lather: Barrister and Mann Eigengrau
• Post Shave: Barrister and Mann Unscented Balm with a drop of Eigengrau splash

Two and a half pass shave, I was feeling confident day 1.

I owned one crappy Pure Badger brush before this and that's it - so day 1 the 820 was more pleasant on my face than what I've been using. Insane backbone compared to what I'm used to. I will also have to relearn lathering, I transitioned from under loaded over hydrated to over loaded, thick, blade sticking lather by the end.

Still felt great though. Very close very smooth shave. Omnibus rescued me today.

Good luck to all!
