I did try one briefly, but that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. Eventually I might fall down the straight rabbit hole

August 4th, 2025: AA Day 4

• Brush: Proraso - Professional Boar
• Razor: Weck - Sextoblade Med Prep
• Blade: Fromm Hair Shaper
• Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Vetiver - Soap
• Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Aftershave

Still taking it nice and easy with the Weck. I think the blade feels slightly better, but I wouldn't call it smooth yet. This is my first day with no blood and a comfy 2 pass shave is all I can ask for. $Rawhoggin $headless $monthofmikes

I am sort of surprised that this time breaking in a brand new boar brush that it is not eating lather or stinking all that much. It is soft, but also can tell there is some upside down hairs scattered which tends to be expected with Omega made boar brushes. Weck felt okay today again. I am not getting the closest shaves, but they are at least comfortable and acceptable for that. Still experimenting with what type of lather consistency works best for me. One tiny little weeper, but getting just a little better each day.

Today the Weck shave went much better. I was less tense and held the blade more flat to my face and it was relatively comfortable all things considered. Also trying the 322 as pre shave. Brush even felt noticeably better as well. $Rawhoggin $monthofmikes $headless

Thanks for the compliment! And thank you for your hand it getting things set up!

And we are off! I have been waiting since mid June it seems like for AA. Tagging u/EldrormR for Raw Hoggin and here is an unboxing video of my brush. The brush felt really good out of the box and reminiscent of the pass around brush u/KerblimeySkal sent around last month, which directly prompted me to get this brush for AA.

Also tagging u/whosgotthepudding for Headless Horsemen. This was a last minute decision and I am totally unsure how this month will play out. Today's shave went okay. Two passes on the mustache area and two with some clean up on the chin and stragglers on my neck. My face felt pretty damn raw after this shave and the splash burnt like hell. I will keep trekking on because I know I can get good shaves with this razor/blade combo because I have before, just gotta shake off the rust. My picture last night showed Sunset and not 322, but 322 is the splash I will be using for the duration of the month, staying in line with HH rules.

Also thanks to everybody participating in Blimey and I's new Mike Soap Challenge. We appreciate you and hope this month will be enjoyable for all, Mike's or not.

No I have a stick and a tub. I used my stick once, but will be using the tub for the first time and the duration of AA.

Lite plate today was the best have I’ve gotten with it. Need one for myself.

I can send you a healthy smush of Orange, Cedarwood and Black Pepper if you’d like.

I’m not doing anything crazy. KerblimeySkal and I are running Mikes Natural Soaps challenge so I’m using Vetiver for the month. I’m also doing Raw Hoggin and have an Proraso Pro Omega ready to go. My razor and post shave will probably change day to day.

Man this Sunset splash has a dose of cooling I was not expecting. Feeling good about this base now and got a great shave with the Lite plate. Happy hump day
