Another month has passed and the eighth Djudicial podcast episode is in the can, this time again with the full Djudicial Corps.

Discussing blade performance with my fellow #GEMsOfWisdom contestants u/Semaj3000 and u/EldrormR has shown me how lucky I got with my marathon blade, which gave me a fine 93rd shave today. The patina on my marathon MMOC is also coming along nicely (I cleaned it a little bit for this picture, usually it looks a bit more frosty during this GEMtury attempt). u/VisceralWatch wasn't bound by any Austere August rules and agreed to use Fleur de France as lather, a soap that both Eld an I received during this Austere August and are impatient to try ourselves. Shaving with one scent while trying to vicariously live another person's lather scent was a new experience for me.

#RawHoggin: Eld and I were using practically the same brush, a Rubberset 400-3 handle with an unbleached Zenith knot at 56 mm loft. The only difference is that I widened the ferrule opening on mine to accommodate a 26 mm knot and after hearing Eld's description of his brush, I think I lucked into the right choice.
