I copied and posted my 30DC post under the "Murphy and mcNeil" thread and they have already reached out to me. Quote is below. I will keep everyone updated on this. I hate that this has happened and I know how you feel due to your experiences but I really like their soap. "Ew! Hey I’ll ping you on this. I have some ideas and can also replace it if necessary for sure."
More Google Translate: När man använder rak rakhyvel rakar jag vanligtvis långsammare och finner att skummet ofta torkar ut. Rakning med en rak lärde mig verkligen hur man hydratiserar min skum ordentligt.
AHA! This is why I absolutely love TSD and the 30DC. Little treasure nuggets of information I don't know (and can't seem to learn on my own) every couple of days. I will add this to my ever growing list of shaving commandments (not unlike Gibb's rules). I tell my 2 kiddos all the time....they didn't come with a manual. The only thing that happened when we left the hospital was that an officer(!) checked we had you belted in a correctly mounted baby car seat. I'm still a kid, so they (and wifey) tell me as much....I just reply, there's a time not to act grown up, and there's a time to act grown up, and while I usually confuse the two, it never matters how many birthdays I've had!
Many many years ago, Walter Cronkite did a report about how people would soon be able to do various things manually while driving(he mentioned making coffee and shaving). I remember thinking "WHAAAAAAAAAA-AAA???".
**************** UPDATE on Murphy & McNeil soap ********** Murphy and McNeil did contact me and a replacement is on the way. They suggested leaving the soap uncovered for a while to dry out and that should work. (Clint also suggested this as well)
I hope they make things right with you. I hope M&M gets things working correctly on their quality control.
Good deal on the replacement. I am afraid they have some serious issues in their manufacturing process. I hope they get things straightened out.
Clint, they took care of it and I give them credit for that. I cannot complain about their customer service. Replacement is on the way. This is the second time they had seen it and it was from some earlier batches and they feel assured that they have it handled.
May 7, 2019 O.R.E.N. Feather Pro Super Shavemac D01 3 band Cold River Schapenmelk Dominica Grand Bay Rum Up and moving pretty early this morning. Everything just worked well together. I really like this Cold River Schapenmelk soap. I have found it super easy to lather with a very pleasant cologne type scent. Three passes and touch ups with the OREN easily caught the baby. This razor looks like a potato peeler but flat out delivers a superb shave. A splash of Dominica Grand Bay Rum aftershave left me smelling great. At work for the morning before picking Asha up at the airport. It will be nice to have both girls home for Mother's Day weekend. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.
Well, Mrs. Gulch didn't look like she was buying the idea when you were explaining it her. By the way, is that brush a Chubby 4? It's a good idea to follow Simpson's advice and use painting strokes with their brushes. Good to see you back in the fray this month, Adam. Be sure you show this photo to Mrs. Gulch. She's not coming with you to the meet up, is she? If so, tell her my name is Clint or Randy.
