Overall, a great soap.

Very nice Bela and way to go and enjoy.

Sorry haven't posted in a while. Been sorting out the Mappin Bros. I took today with the Hart and I still have work to do on the Mappin. Finally found out the problem. There is a warp in the toe. I think I will be reseting the bevel so that this can be taken care of. Other than than that great shave. Liking my new soap. AoS Sandalwood finally ran out.

Here is yesterday's, forgot to upload the photo.
MNS Vetiver, FS "chubby" Max's 9/8, a little splash of Royall, finished off with some Guerlain's.

I have had excellent shaves with this simple setup.
Back to normal tomorrow . At least I will be back on a PC !

More of a great thing...but I see no reason to change a winning formula.

Awesome shave tonight. Ready for what awaits me!!!

Friday

Another icy cold water shave this morning, as it was still a little warm and humid. The lather was thin and inefficient unfortunately, maybe the Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn doesn't like cold water or maybe it was just me. The shave itself was pretty good though; just a single pass.

It was back to the gym at lunchtime and I'm glad it was! Off indoor rock climbing (bouldering) again tomorrow morning...
