Finding Serenity in RawHogginy on the road to the GEMtury Pt. 6

While on vacation, I found it impossible to wake up before Djunior to shave, and I spent the last two weeks as a night shaver. We're back home now, and I've managed to get back to my old (and preferred) morning shave routine, and I'm typing this up while sipping coffee near a still sleeping toddler. Success.

#GEMsOfWisdom: after three quarters of a GEMtury, it's a good time for a quick recap. I started using this blade on 1 last year, and did Austere August with it. At end, it still shaved well, so I kept using it on and off until I reached 69 shaves during Lather Games. After the initial smoothing out of the edge over the first 3 or 4 shaves, this blade has held up surprisingly well and deteriorated at a very slow rate. It's still a mostly smooth shave, but it does tug a bit ATG. Nothing bad, but noticeable.

#RawHoggin: I'm still very happy with how the narrow ferrule keeps a dense tight knot. It's a great way of setting soft tipped boar brushes.
