And we are off! I have been waiting since mid June it seems like for AA. Tagging u/EldrormR for Raw Hoggin and here is an unboxing video of my brush. The brush felt really good out of the box and reminiscent of the pass around brush u/KerblimeySkal sent around last month, which directly prompted me to get this brush for AA.
Also tagging u/whosgotthepudding for Headless Horsemen. This was a last minute decision and I am totally unsure how this month will play out. Today's shave went okay. Two passes on the mustache area and two with some clean up on the chin and stragglers on my neck. My face felt pretty damn raw after this shave and the splash burnt like hell. I will keep trekking on because I know I can get good shaves with this razor/blade combo because I have before, just gotta shake off the rust. My picture last night showed Sunset and not 322, but 322 is the splash I will be using for the duration of the month, staying in line with HH rules.
Also thanks to everybody participating in Blimey and I's new Mike Soap Challenge. We appreciate you and hope this month will be enjoyable for all, Mike's or not.
No I have a stick and a tub. I used my stick once, but will be using the tub for the first time and the duration of AA.

Almost all of mine end up being aural. I had one last September and I knew it immediately with the weird colors and blind spots😩

August 2nd, 2025: AA Day 2
Today the Weck shave went much better. I was less tense and held the blade more flat to my face and it was relatively comfortable all things considered. Also trying the 322 as pre shave. Brush even felt noticeably better as well. $Rawhoggin $monthofmikes $headless
