Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts - w/Maggard 30mm Badger
Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive 'Moarteen'
Lather: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Soap
Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Lyssa - Aftershave

Another very nice 2.5 pass shave. Now I'm wondering if I can go straight to ATG using other types of razors :-)

This has cut down the amount of time it takes me to do a straight razor shave which is a nice bonus.

I have 3 tubs of Tusk and I'd like to kill one or two of them to make room for other soap bases. This 30mm knot really helps with that mission, I think!

I worked out a 2-pass pattern for straights that I then started using for safety razors as well. The trick, for me was in recognizing that I can comfortably combine WTG/XTG in one pass and XTG/ATG in another. For AA I’ve gone back to 3-pass shaves. I’ve used 2-pass for so long I now have to be mindful of getting a result that’s too close.

August 16th, 2025: AA Day 16

Brush: Proraso - Professional Boar
Razor: Weck - Sextoblade Med Prep
Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave

Blade feels like it might be starting to tug a little bit, but still good. This brush is getting softer, but still needs a lot of soap.
