The Penultimate Day Of Weckoning is upon us
Very nice shave this morning. I was comfortable already with the Weck and this ultra-high backbone brush before AA, but there's something special about using a setup repeatedly for a month. This was my 301st shave with an open blade since opening this can of worms by borrowing u/VisceralWatch's Feather AC shavette for Lather Games 2022, and my 55th shave with this particular Weck, but now, for lack of a better term, I feel expertise in every move. The same goes for this brush (80th use today). I just know I'll have a great lather and a great shave before I even start.
All that being said, I'm chomping at the bit take my new-to-me Fili 14 for a spin through my sample pile (Mount Smushmore) next month.
I'm still a bit overwhelmed by yesterday's surprise gift and feeling blessed ๐๏ธ
#Monthofweckoning
You deserve the gift!
And thanks for letting me catch up. I'm at 311 open blade shaves today. On to Straightember!
Thanks! That's kind of you to say!
And this year I won't overtake you again during BBS November with you participating ๐
