August 21st, 2025: MMOCMQ Day 21

Brush: AP Shave Co. "Amber Smoke" - Silksmoke 26mm Synthetic
Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb
Blade: Accuforge GEM Microcoat (21)
Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap
Post Shave: Stirling - Arance Mandarini - Aftershave
Post Shave: Stirling - Glacial Unscented - Balm
Fragrance: Roger & Gallet - Jean Marie Farina - EdC

Another good shave.

This afternoon I leave for a 3-day backpacking trip in a protected wilderness area, so this will be the end of my MMOC Master Quest run. I'll probably continue using the MMOC and this blade when I return from my trip. TBD whether I stick with the same software. All of this assumes that I don't fall off a cliff or get eaten by a bear.

Have a great day y'all!

Walking the righteous path to MMOC mastery ⚔️

I have been sloppy with shaving recently – one shave I didn't log two days ago, the same as today. Two days ago, the shave was a breeze; today, it was a bloodbath. I don't know why.

Anyways, have a good evening!
