  • June 14, 2023 - UnAlive

    • Brush: Yaqi Dandelion Green 24mm Cashmere
    • Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (9)
    • Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive Splash

    Today is my first kill of a tub of soap. This was my Austere August soap last year, and I would guess I got 50+ shaves from it. Maybe even 60 shaves. So, it’s 1 out and 3 in? Probably not, but there is a Mammoth hole in my den that is begging for Dammusi. It is not to be. I have to watch my expenses until my wife is better, and we get a bit of savings again. I do still have a full other tub of Alive. Not enough was left today for the Moar Boar, but just enough to get a decent quantity with this soft synthetic. Decent shave, but the blade is on the downslope now. No going for a bbs with this blade in a razor, but still capable of moreshaves.

    Now that Alive is dead, I can rotate other Mammoth scents in each week.






  • June 12, 2023 - Mammoth - Monday

    The kill of Alive is almost there. Just a small bit left, and not enough to load the big pig. Later this week, I’ll finish it off with a synthetic. Probably not enough soap left to load any of badger brushes. Decent shave, but could have done better on my right cheek. Not buffing or touching up for a while, so needed a bit better on the atg pass than I got. Oh well, gotta go finish making dinner. Made the pork shoulder roast I had intended to make yesterday. It was at 131F when I came up to shave, target is 185F to have it sliced vs. pulled. It’s been raining today, so I didn’t put it on the smoker. I don’t like cooking in the rain.




  • June 11, 2023 - Summer Break Sunday

    • Brush: Yaqi Chianti 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Karve CB C Solid Plate
    • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (6)
    • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Prom King
    • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Prom King

    Testing out my first post here. I chose the username I’d have chosen on Reddit if I had known I could change it in the first 30 days. When I first got online back in the days of Dialup, I played a lot of MUDs (text based Multiple User Domains or sometime Dungeons). I usually used Nevyn as my name (from a Katherine Kerr fantasy series with a Celtic/Welsh flair).

    I already posted my SOTD at r/Wetshaving. I didn’t realize it would go dark around midnight European time. I figured since the SOTD threads show up in the early morning that they were autoposting around midnight Pacific Time. I was in the middle of replying to a question when I got the message it went private.

    Hmm, my bold format shows in the preview (love that), but the bullets didn’t. Now I see bullet icon below the post. Next time I’ll get the format better. Tried selecting and clicking the icon, but not working.

    Edit: figured out the formatting I think. No double spacing in a bullet list.
