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.
The Penultimate Day Of Weckoning is upon us

I’m still a bit overwhelmed by yesterday’s surprise gift and feeling blessed 😊️
