The MK No. 4 is finally starting to come into line. This morning she performed superbly for both passes. Have a great week everyone!

I got my order from Mama Bear earlier this week and waited until today to take a soap for a test drive. I decided the Canadian Spruce would do. Now I can't understand why I thought it was acceptable to wait a few days, this soap is worth far more than you pay. It was a joy to shave today.

You wet the block and rub it over your wet skin, it closes the pores, calms irritation, reduces rash and stops any weepers, it stings like a mofo too esp if you are a little heavy handed with your razor, I love mine.
