Itching for a to use a bunch of new stuff I’ve gotten throughout the month. On the home stretch.
Over AA. I need some variety.
One more week to go!
Keep on swimming, keep on swimming.
Long day. Late night shave, another one in the books.
Had an interview today. Thought it went decent.
11 more days of this.
Counting down days at this point.
OOps this aint the SOTD Thread. However mega stoked for this release. I ordered both tubs of soap.
Almost forgot to post today. Still drudging through the Weck shaves. Gotta hunker down and get through the next few days of August.
I really do think this blade is starting to lose its edge or I am just getting complacent with my lather. This one felt pretty rough and was glad when the shave was finished. Still waiting on this brush to stop eating lather too. Maybe I just need to load it to no end and see where that gets me.
Blade feels like it might be starting to tug a little bit, but still good. This brush is getting softer, but still needs a lot of soap.
Shave was a little rough today. Getting the angle right with the Weck is getting easier each day and at this point, I am glad I am using it for the month. I don’t get perfect shaves with it, but it is pretty fun once you start to get the hang of it.
Today’s shave was good. Was probably the first day where I wasn’t digging vetiver since I had a pretty bad headache earlier, but I got through it. Brush is feeling even better know and I think the Fromm is getting even smoother somehow.
I’m looking forward to using I rich Moose again once AA is done
Two takeaways from using a Weck for two weeks now. I really disliked how heavy the scales are on this Med Prep, but I have learned to use it to my advantage by making very slight adjustments based on the area I am shaving and the angle of the razor. Another thing I learned if I need to make very small angle adjustments, I can tilt my head ever so slightly to adjust.
It felt good. The straight/Weck form factor is feeling a lot more natural
Today was probably my first auto pilot shave where I just did it and did not think about it.
August 27th, 2025: AA Day 27
Got a really good lather today, although I had to load it like it owed me money. Feeling good about finishing AA strong.
