Aug. 1, 2022 - AA - Sexy Stag Flair Quest
My setup:
The Stag trifecta, mostly because I want that sexy flair. But, it's also a top 10 scent of mine, so a double win. As I shave in the morning I think I'll be ok with the wife, who I only see in the evenings. Scent should be well subdued by then.
Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy Ti Herringbone. Beyond pairing the brand with the trifecta, I wanted to hone my skill with it-I either get the most amazing shaves ever with it, or simply decent ones. Figured 31 straight days with it I might dial in the amazing shaves.
Brush: I'm not formally raw hoggin' it because I want the Stag flair and don't need another Synthetic. But I'm gonna play along for fun and camaraderie and break in this Semogue 1305 this month. I intend to use it all 31 days.
Blades: the only thing I'm gonna change up. Want to see if I can find the perfect blade for the Legacy. Today, the Voskhod did me good. Rock solid.
The Shave: omg I'd forgotten how much I love this scent, especially the splash, in which the gasoline is front and center. Brush not nearly as prickly as I'd anticipated. I lathered a long time to begin the break in. Prime angle on this razor is a little steeper than my other razors. Solid shave, great smells, hope I don't get sick of it.
Been jealous of ya'lls Stag flair, looking forward to earning one myself.

Stag still smells fantastic. Only 29 more days.
Amazing shave today, really found the perfect angle with the Legacy, it's closer to 45 degrees than 30 like my other razors. The gods smiled upon my lather, it was magical. Everything stays the same this month except the blade. Gonna try 10-15 different blades. Voskhod was totally rock solid, an 8, maybe even 9/10. Day 2 for the brush, a little better than day 1. This thing is not as prickly as my Stirling Boar was at the start. No Boar stank at all, hmmn.

Aug. 3, 2022 - AA Day 3- Sexy Stag Flair Quest
I have enough soap and edp for the month. A little worried about the splash. Might have to order another, it's gonna be close. I think I just overuse it because it's my favorite of the trifecta-I really do love that gasoline smell and it's strongest in the splash. This boar is excellent and after only three shaves, I can foresee it becoming a favorite. The only thing I'm changing up is the blade. GSB during the shave felt slightly ineffective, a bit tuggy. But post shave, very close, smooth, no nicks at all, very little feedback from splash. Hmmn. So far on par with Voskhod.

Aug. 4, 2022 - AA Day 4 - Stag Sexy Flair Quest
Things I've learned in 4 days.
The splash of this Trifecta is pure gold. The best scent of the 3, a great post shave feel, and just the right amount of menthol.
The Legacy is a great razor. Definitely a steeper shaving angle than my other razors though. Mild yet efficient. So far, both blades I've used have worked well this month- GSB and Voskhod. The Voskod may have a very slight edge.
Boar may be my favorite flavor of brush. Excellent exfoliation without irritating my skin. Whips up a fabulous lather. The 1305 is gonna be a keeper.
Stag is unique. There's nothing quite like it. VoA is in the ballpark, but it's uniquely great in its own way-defintely more "refined" than Stag. Stag is also a scent that grows on me.

Aug. 5, 2022 - AA Day 5 - Sexy Stag Flair Quest
What I'm learning during AA-how to get better shaves out of my razor-I'm improving my skill with the Legacy. That so far different blades don't matter, we'll see how that plays out. That while I like Stag, I really like variety, and using the same lather/splash/frag each day isn't teaching me much other than I like variety (don't get me wrong, I like my Stag!) But the real growth is coming from using the same razor. That the Boar does improve with time, each shave is little more luxurious. Cheers.

Aug. 12, 2022 - AA - Sexy Stag Flair Quest Day 12
Nothing to say other than I have perfected the Legacy technique. It's a great, great daily. Not sure it would be efficient enough for me if I shaved every other day or longer. The brush is evolving nicely. AA has been helpful for razor and brush. Not sure I am learning anything with the same soap, splash, and edp, but I want that flair. And thankfully like the Stag.

Things I have learned in 3 weeks.
Stag Good. Razor great, but maybe only as a daily-not so sure it's as good an every other day or third day shaver. Brush excellent. Variety is one of my favorite reasons I love wet shaving. I miss it. 😢 The Flair will be nice, but I'm looking forward to rocking as many different soaps and razors and brushes as possible.

My posts are getting more and more austere as the month rolls along, with less to say. My photos and videos looking the same. One of the upshots I think is that shaving really feels like a morning meditation as I spend less time thinking about what to use and am more focused on the ritual of it all. It's becoming an ascetic. I'm like becoming a Midnight monk. A Stag shingon. Starting to feel like I've spent 40 days and nights in the desert. Fasting. I feel very spiritual.

Stag still smells spectacular.
I can now see the bottom of of the tub, the ring of death has appeared. Probably about 10 shaves left? It's been my other quest this year to kill Leviathan as my first tub kill (I've reached the bottom on that one too), so I'm gonna set the Stag soap aside and focus on killing Leviathan after AA. Then I'm gonna kill a bunch of tubs in the next year rather than buy any new soap.
Razor great. Brush great. But I'll set them aside too for a while in a few days.

Two more Stags. Picked up a Razorock Game Changer and a few new tubs of soap I absolutely do not need that are jonesing to get used except I might kill my Leviathan first, we'll see. Amazing how much Stag Edp is still left after 75+ sprays. Getting awfully low on soap and splash. The brush has only lost a few bristles and has had no boar stank at all. Have a great night, all!

Aug. 31, 2022 - AA - Sexy Stag Flair Quest Finish Line!
The Stag is totally EXHAUSTED. But made it to the finish line!
Got a broken in Boar. Very soft.
Completely dialed in the Legacy.
Learned that every blade works for me pretty much equally.
Smelled like a greasy fire pit every day!
Thought about dousing myself at the finish line, but I really like this scent and don't want to waste it. Gonna set it aside though for a couple months and kill it right after I kill Leviathan. I really, really, really miss my smells. I think I'm gonna do 30 different soaps in 30 days in September, using my favorite 30.
Cheers fellow Austerians!
