August 3rd, 2025: AA Day 3

  • Brush: Proraso - Professional Boar
  • Razor: Weck - Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
  • Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave

I am sort of surprised that this time breaking in a brand new boar brush that it is not eating lather or stinking all that much. It is soft, but also can tell there is some upside down hairs scattered which tends to be expected with Omega made boar brushes. Weck felt okay today again. I am not getting the closest shaves, but they are at least comfortable and acceptable for that. Still experimenting with what type of lather consistency works best for me. One tiny little weeper, but getting just a little better each day.
