About as perfect of a shave as I can get. Close, comfortable three passes with great results.
The brush is almost to the point where I'm not noticing it eating any lather. Quite a quick break-in with this one. It already feels great on the face.

Blade is definitely feeling broken in and smoother. Comfortable three pass shave this morning.
I can tell that the brush is on the cusp of greatness, but it still feels pretty young and is eating some lather. I don't think it'll take much longer to get to a really nice place.

The brush is already eating less lather, I only needed to go back to the tub once for a couple swirls. The tips are also starting to split already. Very nice.

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.
I always enjoy coming back to the 34C. It was my first "real" razor, and it continues to give me a fantastic auto-pilot shave. Probably one of my desert island razors if I had to choose.

SBS makes great soap, but I still haven't decided on one I'd like a full tub of. I enjoyed the scent of Woodshop but don't expect it's one I'd use much.
Nearly perfect results from the Black Tip. These are great little razors.
Razor: Koraat Moarteen (15/16", full hollow, square point, r/wetshaving exclusive) (21)

Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Roam Two - EdT
Close shave with the Moarteen, but I definitely had some weepers on my jawline after the third pass. The blade still feels great, but my technique could still improve in that area.
Beautiful scent combo as well. I have maybe a fifth of the Roam Two frag left. This is probably one I'll try to replace if I can find one second hand.

7 late shifts in a row is a lot, hopefully that calms down for you soon.

Close comfortable shave with no irritation. This blade might be starting to fall off, I'll revisit it after August.
Looking forward to another month with my MMOC!
The only other that I'm aware of is Infernal's MMFBT. I don't have a flat bottom tech head though, they seem hard to find.
