3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was my first use of the Silk base from Chiseled Face and even though I was using a brand new boar brush, the base provided more than adequate slickness for the shave.
A nice shave. For all that I dislike AYLM for their pricing, I still find myself for reaching for their soaps quite often. Urash is definitely a good and nice soap.
Polsilver were a good blade. It's a shame about Russia. I'm pretty sure I paid a "normal" price for these ones. You can still find some but that are $1+ per blade and you have to be on the lookout for counterfeits.

A great shave to start off Austere August. This is going to be a nice month. The MMOC gave close results, and Darkwing brought that excellent slickness.
This brush definitely ate some soap today, but I can tell it's going to break in quickly and nicely.

Fancy razor, even by your standards 😍

You’re not wrong. In this one form and function have a distant relationship. My tastes are strongly Bauhaus.

My taste is somewhere between Bauhaus and the current state of the oval office. Probably slightly closer to Bauhaus, though 🧐

The current decor of the Oval Office demonstrates level of taste so low that it is indescribable.

You were able to get enough Stag for the month?

No deliveries yet. I'm going to be strict on daily usage and I have two samples if I need to use them. :)
