  • 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

    • Brush: Zenith 31mm Moar Boar

    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.
