Super early morning shave today. I was obviously a bit too tired because I nicked my strop. Well, better that than the face. 😅

Nice shave, but that was to be expected at this point in AA.

Surprise balm kill today!!!! I've been working at this balm for what feels like forever. Although there was still some left in the bottom, the pump stopped picking it up.

The soap is getting near, too. I've already re-spread it once after hitting the bottom, and the bottom is starting to become visible again. I won't kill it before the month is over, but it'll be soon. I found reference online to an empty Stirling tub weighing 78 grams. If this is true, I still have a solid 42 grams of soap left, which will last me precisely 13 more shaves.

Another amazing 3-pass comfortable shave with this completely unstroped razor. I'm still enjoying AG 1889. Though, we've had great weather this past week, this was a perfect choice for the heat and humidity that we get here.
