    Awesome! I use Old Spice Pure Sport which has holes in the bottom. I've wanted to make a travel soap with a container like that. I'll have to check out Amazon. Thanks William!

    Does the term "masochism" mean anything to you?

    lollllllll Yeah, but I wouldn't rate this shave as such. Sheer joy and rapture but not masochism! :)

    Mastro Livi Carbon Damascus "100 Layers", 13/16 Extra Hollow, Square Point​

    Still on the road and still traveling with this Mastro Livi one hundread layers carbon damascus razor. Today's shave was also the occasion to test this Omega Hi-Brush Barber's Pole. After having tried for a long time to get an Omega brush with a Hi-Brush loft, I finally managed to buy one in a shop. I opted for this lovely barber's pole handle which was, in my opinion, a little disappointing. The barber's pole usually consists in a tube with spiraling stripes giving the well known effect when in motion. This brush looks like a real barber's pole only if you watch in from the front, while if you turn it to a different position you do not have the spiral effect anymore. As for the loft, I must say this Omega Hi-Brush is very good, certainly one of the very best synthetic brushes I have ever tested, very soft yet being quite stiff, giving a nice feedback on the skin as well as being very good in mounting lather. The finishing touch was provided by Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve aftershave, one of my favorite fragrances. I simply love it!​

    You can wrap the bottom piece with aluminum foil to cover the slots. That's what I did for my arko stick

    Very solid shave this morning, first time trying a Big Ben Super Stainless blade. I'm impressed by them that's for sure, definitely in the middle of the road in terms of sharpness and smoothness for me.

    It is very good! Lathers very easily and smells wonderful. I think it is a version of Irish Tweed but I may be wrong, my nose has lied to me before
