  • Brush: Grey Chubby - Zenith B37
  • Razor: Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: GEM - PTFE Coated Stainless Steel (29)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Z - Soap

  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Z - Aftershave

If it wasn't yesterday, it was going to be today: I broke through to the bottom.

I suspect it goes without saying that this blade has been next to worthless for the past couple of weeks. I do think there's value in having the experience of pushing a blade past its useful point, because it allows one to recognize when a blade has reached that point. To continue to use it, though, feels pretty asinine, but Mr. ST:TNG dictates another two days.

I've said that—even though it, too, surely goes without saying—come Thursday, I plan to take this brush for a proper lather after a month of such unrefined face-kneading. Probably more important, though, is the opportunity to use a fresh blade. I do not consider it unlikely that, while I grew adept with the MMOC after my first uses last month and then as I commited to daily use this month, using it for so long with an ineffective blade has allowed some bad habits to develop without me noticing. Habits that I will discover that I need to unlearn after a sharp blade acutely brings them to my attention.
