Took a shave off from the MWF for a Spice Sunday. More on that at the end. First use of this made in India shave cream. Scent is light but the OS is there. Easy to load - squirt it into the bowl... Whipped up plenty of lather in no time and seems quite thirsty for a prehydrated product. The Alpha 400 brush has a big ole fat gob of badger hair that delivered well. Fresh blade in the Raised Flat Bottom Deluxe handled as it should for three passes, and a little clean up duty. No errors, even got the pesky hard to shave lower neck beard. Alum swiped a little loud but I've not been using it on the regular so it might just be how it feels? I do like the skin tightening feeling. Splash of old Old Spice to cap of a comfy "after everyone else went to bed" moment of me time.
A little frustrated with the just a little too small puck of MWF bouncing around in the tub. I weighed it, added water, weighed it again. Haven't used it since 10PM on the 4th, tonight's preliminary mass; 366 grams. That's showing 2 grams evaporation in 48 hours. After adding approximately 25ml of ambient temp tap water; 391 grams. All measurements with the lid included. I'm hoping the +/- 118gram puck will take on the approximately 20% mass of water, swell up, and get with the program. Lid's back on and I expect to shave again (S)TTS.
Good Shaves Y'all!
