Day 23/31 of Looking for Serenity in Austerity

  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (23)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 50 (7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel, masonic deco) (6)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Roman Spice

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?

[–] gcgallant 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Boaring as in a boar pun. I have a new boar brush coming. I think I'll probably want to vary the setup :)
