Austere August: Day: 10

Razor: Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb
Blade: Gillette - Nacet (Marathon) (508)
Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag (White Label)
Brush: Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL (33 uses)
Post: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag (White Label)

Razor and Blade Notes - Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet (M) (508 uses):
Same: First pass has some tugginess to it. But no irritation that lasts longer than a little tuggy stroke. Latter passes feel fine and give a reasonably close shave. 4 pretty quick passes.

Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)

Soap Notes - Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag (White Label):

A manly scent I enjoy!

Scent: The awesome gasoliney leathery woody smokiness

I just love all the aspects of this scent!

Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.

Lather: 5 swirls loading, because 6 is too much, ha ha!

fine slurry lather. But the 4th pass did lack a little water, but it was easy enough to sprinkle a little back in.

Hydration: Perfect (for me)

2 sec load with a Very Wet brush
= 5 passes of lather

Bowl: No Bowl

Brush Notes - Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL (33 uses):
Same: Comfortable soft tips that do flex some, but that are supported by a base with strong backbone. As with all young boars, I look forward to the tips splitting with more uses and getting softer with use.

*Shave Quality*
During the Shave Feel:
Cheeks: Felt blade but comfortable
Neck: Felt blade but comfortable
After the Shave Closeness:
Cheeks: Close Shave
Neck: Several hairs are showing some tip length (still a pretty good shave)

I'm gradually adding answers to frequent questions here: http://www.sugardaddyshaves.com

Wetshaving is the age-old shaving method where you create a lather from a soap or cream, usually with a brush. And these days, we also usually mean using a safety razor (aka double edge or DE) or single edge or straight razor to remove the hair. We often enjoy less irritated skin, healthier skin, more enjoyable shaves, and often closer shaves than those who use a multi-bladed cartridge and canned shaving foam.

(Austere August is a period when some shavers, usually from the wetshaving subreddit, like to stick with one soap or even up to one whole set of gear, for the whole month of August.)
