Another #AustereAugust in the books. A great soft and hardware combo that made it easy to enjoy consistency and ritual.
Oh, and there was that speed-Wecking fad... weird.

Three-pass afternoon shave at reasonable temperatures. I had almost forgotten the feeling 🥵. The heat dome over central Europe is dissipating and rain brought cold air. Rain++;

Today's the day that this blade hit the usual AA service life of 31 uses, and while it feels a tad less efficient by now, it's doing just fine.

When #AustereAugust is over, I am really going to miss simply being able to copy and paste my last shave for my #SOTD.

Frankly if I wasn’t doing the #AustereAugust thing I’d probably toss this blade at this point. Pretty tuggy. I sometimes wonder if it gets worse if there’s more than a day or two between shaves. #SOTD

🥵 Today it sucks to live in a place where AC is usually not needed and hence uncommon. Today would have been a good day for some software with a cooling agent. but AAlas.

A quick lunchtime shave'n'shower was really nice to cool off. The blade may not be perfect anymore but still plenty sharp enough for BBS.

The blade is starting to show its age and losing a bit of efficiency, I think.

Video for u/FMKJuli. @sgrdddy's slurry lather, 2 passes, splash and frag in 5m. Good shave, almost BBS, no irritation, no blood, and most importantly: *no hurrying*.

Good slurry shave, and insanely quick: 6m30s for a 2 pass open blade shave from picking up the soaked brush to spraying the frag, not hurrying. @sgrdddy is on to something here :)

I finally tried @sgrdddy's slurry lather (https://wetshaving.social/@sgrdddy/110891589942404932). I didn't fully reproduce it. I clearly have some more experimenting to do.

I flipped the blade around today (20 uses) to get the presumably less used heel to take over as the new toe, and I felt 🥁 no difference. These Kismet blades really hold up well. Wow
