    Very nice last shave before #AustereAugust. The frag was a gift from the hotel, which seems insane to me.

    A nice straight razor shave after a night of travelling and little sleep. This is going to be my #AustereAugust razor this year. sub.wetshaving.social/post/282

    • Frag: #Farina 1709

    Ok, this is a great combo. Both Verbena Toscana and Farina are very citrus forward, VT with added light vervain, and Farina with some spicy scent I can't put my finger on. This could easily be an excellent #AustereAugust setup

    Another #AustereAugust in the books. A great soft and hardware combo that made it easy to enjoy consistency and ritual.

    Oh, and there was that speed-Wecking fad... weird.

    Last Monday of the Days of Weckoning, and I already feel a tad nostalgic. I've summed up some thoughts here: sub.wetshaving.social/comment/

    This blade is chugging along brilliantly. I do not foresee any problems with the last four Shaves of Weckoning.

    Three-pass afternoon shave at reasonable temperatures. I had almost forgotten the feeling 🥵. The heat dome over central Europe is dissipating and rain brought cold air. Rain++;

    Today's the day that this blade hit the usual AA service life of 31 uses, and while it feels a tad less efficient by now, it's doing just fine.

    🥵 Today it sucks to live in a place where AC is usually not needed and hence uncommon. Today would have been a good day for some software with a cooling agent. but AAlas.

    Early morning back-to-work shave. Today's the first day I'm back in the office since a month ago.

    A quick lunchtime shave'n'shower was really nice to cool off. The blade may not be perfect anymore but still plenty sharp enough for BBS.

    The blade is starting to show its age and losing a bit of efficiency, I think.

    Nice three-pass shave today. This shave will likely also be the last moment today I don't feel hot #HeatDome 🥵☀🌡

    Video for u/FMKJuli. @sgrdddy's slurry lather, 2 passes, splash and frag in 5m. Good shave, almost BBS, no irritation, no blood, and most importantly: *no hurrying*.

    Good slurry shave, and insanely quick: 6m30s for a 2 pass open blade shave from picking up the soaked brush to spraying the frag, not hurrying. @sgrdddy is on to something here :)

    I finally tried @sgrdddy's slurry lather (wetshaving.social/@sgrdddy/110). I didn't fully reproduce it. I clearly have some more experimenting to do.
