MRTNG'S Ultra Nightmare Mode, Headless Horsman, and Raw Hoggin Completed and so happy to be able to use some of my new products that came in this month starting tomorrow, and to use a new fricking blade in a DE razor. Don't get me wrong I am glad that I took the headless horsemen challenge and used my Kai Kasho Kamisori with an AC blade all month because I learned a new skill and am looking forward to using more shavettes and possibly straights in my SOTDs going forward, even if it's only on the weekends when I have more time. Three pass shave tonight went well. The boar brush really changed over the month and has gotten softer, bloomed more, and doesn't eat as much lather. Looking forward to breaking it in some more as well as my other new ones that I purchased during this month because since I couldn't use anything else my mind said let's buy some more things we can't use right now.
For tonights #sidetracked challenge I listened to one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies. That song is Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry from the movie Back To The Future. Love that movie because I am into sci-fi and love the idea of time travel. Love the song because I got introduced to it by my Grandpa that passed. When he passed I got his cassette player and tapes. One of them was a greatest hits of Chick Berry and this was the first song on that tape. So when I found this movie when I was younger I fell in love with it immediately because it reminded me of him. I also love the guitar shredding scene in the movie.

Thanks to u/Marquis90, u/Endeegee, and u/Teufelskraft for the challenges that I got to participate in this year for my first inaugural Austere August Challenge. Looking forward to next year and seeing what challenges I do then. Who knows maybe I'll be proficient enough with one of the two OCMM Gem razors that I own that I will use it the whole month. Probably not going to be a Knight of Stag because that scent is just of putting to me. Sorry if I offend thoughs who enjoy it but as in all things wetshvaing YMMV. Hope everyone has a great day amd have a great shave.
