Finding Serenity in RawHogginy on the road to the GEMtury Pt. 22

• Prep: Klar Activated Charcoal facial soap
• Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with unbleached 26 mm Zenith knot set at 56 mm loft (22)
• Razor: GEM - Micromatic (open comb, first generation)
• Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (91)
• Soaking Mug: Seaforth! - Scotch Heather - shaving mug
• Bath Soap: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - bath soap
• Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime - Soap
• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime - Eau de Toilette

I've had this Seaforth mug for quite some time, but for some reason, today was the first time I really looked at the backside:

WASH FACE. WET BRUSH IN HOT WATER. WORK UP LATHER IN MUG. MASSAGE LATHER THOROUGHLY INTO BEARD. ADD MORE HOT WATER TO BRUSH AS NEEDED. YOU'LL ENJOY SEAFORTH'S UNSURPASSED SHAVING LUXURY AND ECONOMY! SOAP REFILLS AVAILABLE.

I think I might try that technique tomorrow. (<= Edit: I realised that that would actually u/Semaj3000 me out of the RawHoggin' challenge. So I'm not going to do it)

The shave went great, and I'm starting to wonder how much of a recalibration awaits me when I use a fresh blade after AA. The brush can do no wrong. It is in fact perfection.
