    The more I use this soap, the HARDER it is becoming.
    That's unusual.
    Still, the Omega boar set in the Rubberset, really created some gorgeous goo.

    There's a Game Changer thread running, so I took mine for a spin.
    Great tool. One minor complaint users have, is that the posts are too short.
    Yes, they are, but I never have an issue setting the blade.
    Not pictured is some Meehan Bay Rhum I applied after the Eufros ASB.

    I am leaning towards the Vetiver, as it is the oldest of the trio.

    They look like good ones, allright. I've yet to try a Mike's soap.

    We are getting down to the Nitty-Gritty...and I don't mean this:

    There are so many
    granules, I feel like I am shaving with an exfoliating soap. :angry019:
    Trying yet another boar, this SOC may be "the one".
    Still a little scritchy, but the bristles have not been chemically treated.
    More thoughts on this brush as I continue to use it.

    I’m not a big fan of boar brushes in general, but that is the one I kept in my den. For me, it was the best out there. As you know, it takes a while to break boar brushes in, and the scritch went away once I had used it enough.

    Early morning shave with a late afternoon post. I have been running errands all morning and I am happy to be finished. Everything continues to work well together and the soap continues to sink. I can’t ask for more. I hope everyone has a great afternoon.

    I am realizing the "bleached" and "Chemically treated" bristles are not my bailiwick.

    Monday Again. Why are weekends so short. A wonderful shave to start the day. For those that don’t like Bay Rum that smells of too much clove, you should consider getting a sample of the PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum. I detect little to no clove at all.

    Please remember those impacted by the tragic events of 9-11​

    Rather than post another pic of the same soap.
    This is more important.
    NEVER FORGET. NEVER.

    The days have gotten away from me. I took a vacation day from work on Friday to help plan a large community event with my Rotary Club that lasted all weekend. I did shave most days, and they were solid shaves, once I changed out the blade.
    On to another SE tomorrow.

    You have a much tougher choice than I do. I only have one- Orange, Cedar and Black Pepper. There is a lot of product left.

    My Lavender and Bay Rum are 85-90% full. The Vetiver is about 40% full.
