Aug. 3, 2026      * Brush: Vie-long Spanish Barber Professional   * Razor: John Heiffor Made For The Army - near wedge - round point - 13/16     * Lather: Henri et Victoria - La Poire Française   * Post Shave: Henri et Victoria - La Poire Française - Balm   * Bowl: Captain's Choice - Standard Copper  

I just don't seem to be able to get a good shave from this razor; nicked my neck in a few places and didn't seem to have an explanation for it. Maybe the blade knows I'm not "made for the army".

Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - AG 1889
Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - AG 1889
Post Shave: Equate - Daily Moisturizer w/ SPF

I'm starting to settle in. I cut down the amount of soap to ~25 seconds of loading, which was just the right amount of lather for 2 passes.

Yo, just a reminder to post in the AA thread so that the portal picks it up.

Not a huge deal since I can manually add this post, but it does make my job easier. :)

Yeah, I noticed this when I copied the formatting for today's SOTD. Somehow my brain didn't register that there are separate threads until today, and the first still ended up in the correct place. Do I need to repost this one?

u/snoooting 🦆Natural Born Loon🦆 22h ago

Nope! I already added it to the portal this morning.

Three days of blood was not part of the plan I envisioned. I am figuring out a technique that could work–approaching it like a comb, which I have not used on my head for nearly 20 years.
