I don't mind waiting for an event. Anticipation helps to build the excitement. Earlier today the brush our Jason
@jtspartan crafted arrived. I've been waiting to use the Meet Up soap until I had both here.

As Neal
@NCoxSTL noted, it's that tallow lather from Stirling. Beef is good! I like the glycerin, Shea butter, and lanolin, too. The SynBad bulb knot is similar in texture to the Cashmere knot in the '18 LE30DC brush, but the extra density gives it a different feel. So working with a familiar soap base and a deluxe version of a brush I've known lather happened. Glossy, goopy, slumping peaks. Glorious stank too! Discussion of the NEW Gillette had it out already. The Voskhod still has some time to go so it gave it's best. Three passes, the extra cleanup that makes the difference between CCS and how I finished - DFS or better. Good alcohol burn from the AS, so I took a second splash. Yup. Great stuff.
Good shaves Y'all!
