    ䷀ General Notes

    Start of Austere August for me, on Day 3 here. I’ll make up for it in September.

    Going to keep using the Nacet, and this is shave 501 with it.

    ䷀ Razor and Blade Notes

    (Timeless - Stainless Steel .68 - Open Comb ::: Gillette - Nacet - M ‹501 uses›)

    A little tuggy on first pass, and it just too 4 to get the job done enough for tonight. Close result.

    Razor and Blade Performance/Comfort Rating: 2 out of 5 (Okay)

    ䷀ Soap Notes

    (Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - White Label)

    I just love all the aspects of this scent!

    Scent Strength: 6/10, nicely present during shaving.

    Lather… Thought I’d try the slurry lather today. So I started with a very wet brush. Loaded for 10 seconds or so, and then put that on my face. It wasn’t quite enough soap to get going, so I went back for a little more. This gave me that slurry, slick super wet layer on my face, which was pass 1.

    Pass 2 started looking more like a mature lather, since it was starting to come together more.

    I had plenty of lather for 5 passes using this face lathering method. How about that you overloaders?!

    Hydration: Perfect (for me)

    • 20 sec load with a Very Wet brush
    • = 5 passes of lather

    Bowl: No Bowl

    ䷀ Brush Notes

    (Zenith - r/wetshaving MOAR BOAR B35/508A XL ‹26 uses›)

    Since this guy is still young, the slurry lather method still translated a lot of backbone, though the tips softened it up somewhat.


    During the Shave Feel:
      Cheeks: Just a little tugging
      Neck: Just a little tugging
    After the Shave Closeness:
      Cheeks: Very Close Shave
      Neck: Many hairs show whisker tips with a little length to them
