    The solution is an easy one, Paul. One soap...everyday...until it's gone. :) Most of us in this hobby prefer variety, myself included. A few times a year, I like to challenge myself to use up one product.

    South Beach (Miami, FL, US of A) clubs threw "foam parties" in the late nineties and early oughts. I do like the 48, because after a shave, it's possible to either de grease the engine block in my truck or throw a disco foam party. And still have leftover lather....

    I did a year of "Love it or Lose it"

    After growing a ridiculous inventory of gear, I did a series of Foci and if I didn't love the gear... I gave it away to newbies or sold it.

    Razor collecting is a valid hobby, but not for me. I really enjoy the simple pleasure of shaving well with limited gear.

    My soap collection was stupid.... but you know... Harmless fun.

    Lovely shave pic! Like the red theme. Good afternoon!

    The alkali nature of true soap also makes keratin brittle and easier to break cleanly with a blade bevel.

    Beautiful photo, Clint. Did you change the color of your General, or is it just my poor memory? Great kit and shave report.

    Great shave, Paul! As Hannibal Smith of the TV Series A-Team used to say, “Don’t you love it when a plan comes together!”

    Beautiful photo, Jason! Merkur are just lousy blades. I had a tuck from a sampler. Gave it to my son, who tossed them! Glad everything worked out!

    Great photo, kit and report, as usual, Jim. Is that a small batch bourbon in the photo?

    Great report, Maestro! You seem to fell the same way about Williams as I feel about MWF.

    i often wonder how many folks that buy a new merkur razor use the supplied blade or toss it in favor of their favorite.i can imagine some saying "what a crap razor"
