Austere August Day 2

Brush: Rubberset 400-3 w/ Unbleached Zenith 24mm knot set to a 56mm loft 2nd use

Razor: Gem MMOC, gen 2

Blade: PTFE (2)

Lather: NO Monoi de Tahiti

Post: NO Monoi de Tahiti Splash

Today's shave was so much better than yesterdays. When I first put this brush together, there was quite a bit of space between the glue bump and the ferrule and I knew the bloom was going to get good and do it quickly. I didn't expect it to go this wide after one use. That tiny bit of extra space has given the knot a chance to really spread out from its original cramped space. That, in turn, allowed more lather and preshave soaking water to get all in the nooks and crannies to help soften things up. Overall, it required less loading time and made better lather than yesterday. I am really looking forward to how this knot develops throughout this month.
