Shave was okay. Not great, but not horrible. Hardest part of this challenge so far is just writing up a proper SOTD with picture everyday.

Brush: Semogue - 1305 Boar

Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Test… Test… 123 - Soap
Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Toner

Wow, what an improvement over yesterday. This blade has always worked well in the Era level 3, and apparently it still does! I guess the razor I used yesterday just wasn't a good fit. Today it felt sharper, smoother, and quite nice.
I finished this tester sample of Fanzine Saponifications. I'm eagerly awaiting the initial release from this new artisan.
- Sgrddy should start to worry!
  
  I'm on the phone with Guinness as we speak.

  You and @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social should investigate this. You're both very observant and analytical. (This is up my alley too but no way am I shaving with the same DE blade over 100 times. With my current rotation, it will take me about 4 years to get there.)

Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
Razor: Koraat 14 "Moarteen" 15/16" Full Hollow
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (Mutton -r/Wetshaving) - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave
Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Sir Irisch Moos - Eau de Cologne
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
10 days, 28 passes. No stropping of the razor. Better shaves than when I started. Some of this is undoubtedly due to the mutton tallow, but the rest I think is due to a rededication to precision to touch and angle. This is fun stuff for me.
