Doing sort of a mini austere august with this soap and razor. I'm learning a lot. MdC works great when it's sopping wet, for example (at least with soft water). The razor is something else… I'm getting the feel for it and my shaves are improving, but I just think there's something about this edge that isn't quite right. I've had such dreamy shaves with it in the past, so there must be a way to improve it. Still, I'm too lazy to get the honing stone out again, so I'll just keep plucking away and see what happens.
