    It's funny you say that, Joseph. I have slowly been working my way through various products I've been wanting to try. The Veg has been in and out of my shopping cart several times.

    I was stuck with a puck of the Fat
    So I used it at the laundromat.
    My clothes smell like mutton.
    It destroyed every button.
    Who'd torture their mug with that?

    :D​

    Linda Morris’ Birthday Shave - Lakewood Soap Company
    Boar Month - Shave #11

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Ever-Ready 1912 SE
    Blade: GEM Stainless
    Brush: Jayaruh 410 with Omega #48 Boar
    Lather: Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song
    Aftershave: Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song Balm
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Stirling Tea Tree Witch Hazel

    Fantastic shave to honor a talented artisan’s birthday. IMHO the glissade offered up by this soap during the shave is one of the best in my den. I easily could use one face lather of soap for two passes. The glissade is that good.

    Good afternoon guys!

    Straight Razor Shave #194

    Wostenholm 15/16 Near Wedge Sq Pt
    Rockwell Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Coconut Lime SS and AS

    I bought this razor just over a year ago and I haven't used it too much. If I have 12 shaves with it, then that would be astonishing to me. It's not that I don't like this razor. She's a beauty, but I just forget about her. So I picked her today. I don't have to go on about this Stirling soaps performance because it's consistently very good. 2.5 passes gave me a BBS- shave without bloodletting or irritation. Ended this shave with a splash of the matching aftershave. I am a happy camper! Have a nice afternoon guys! 20200811_154236.jpg

    You must be the father of the kid doing the Williams video and saying midway through it "I really don't like this soap".
