Break-in progress has seemingly stalled for the brush. I don’t feel any day-to-day changes anymore, but the tips haven’t split yet, so I’m getting curious about when this might start, as I expect a significant change in how the brush feels at that point. I might have to continue this break in through Straightember.
Very nice early morning shave.
Straightember++;
Hell yeah!! Maybe I’ll make it a Boaring Straightember. I kinda miss Raw Hoggin’.
Boaring only as a boar pun, or will it also be boring by choosing a single setup?
Boaring as in a boar pun. I have a new boar brush coming. I think I’ll probably want to vary the setup :)

Progress AlbumLoaded light today because apparently @sahenders only uses 1 gram per shave?! I used 1.6 today. Lather was fine, but I do prefer using twice as much 🤓.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave. $headless $FriodomRiders #NoStrop
This was my first 3-pass shave in a very long time. To date, all of my 2-pass shaves have been comfortable and BBS, but closer to BBS-- than BBS++. Today’s shave was definitely a DS-BBS shave so:
BBS++;
I plan to continue this 3-pass pattern for the rest of the month. I’m way out of practice with it.
