    This soap is a stubborn mule.
    Does, however, make a stupendous lather.
    Time for a new blade.
    Finished with some Tom Ford.

    The last two shaves were completed with an 8/8 Dovo and my trusty 2011 R41. While my Dior Leather Oud is staging closet waiting for colder weather I decided to go with another Dior favorite, Pathouli Impérial.

    Something about this tub of Panna Crema has been bothering me, for some reason I kept hearing Don Gioviani in my head. Today while using my Simpson Polo 10 which used to be owned by a famous tenor it hit me. Now this 3017 is canceled and this soap will be tossed out of my 25th story window. Our resident soap and stank aficionado, @Primotenore has be cursed by soap granules in the past and now that curse has visited me in Seoul. Now it all makes sense. I will now audition some new soaps to find my next 3017 victim, no granules allowed.

    Well, this soap sure came to a sud-den end.

    And please be careful tossing soap out the apartment window. The little bakery on the street below is just a scone's throw away, and they already have plenty of grains.

    Bada-bing, bada-boom.

    The 3017 continues.
    Not an easy one, I have to admit.

    Nothing to see here. Not even the start of a doughnut hole. :(

    You may, however, feast your eyes on the OG Dior Homme.

    So the search for a granule free 3017 begins.

    Japanese steel with a sharp edge but the performance of this Route 66 was not up to what I remembered. The brush is one I do not use often, it is a Rudy Vey bog oak handle with a Shavemac flat top D01 knot. It is small and is finally breaking in to be a bit softer, it requires relaoded it a couple times to complete my crazy 4 pass shaves.

    In the beautiful bowl is Stirling Electric Sheep, great for keeping the mosquitos away. Today's brush has the finest hair of any of my brushes, this Culmak is something special. Unfortunately it is small and requires reloading in between passes. I have never been able to find a larger one in best badger. Inspired by his stakiness, today's stank is a powerhouse, Dior Leather Oud.

    Still working the Dragon.
    Making some good progress.
    Last Voskhod from this tuck. Different blade next time.

    How is the brush doing, Joseph?

    I am nearing the end of my Stirling Executive Man 3017. Just a few more shaves left in the tub.
