  There is some message hidden in there somewhere

  An Omega of death has formed in my soap. I’m not that confident anymore that I will finish this soap in 2024, but the end is close.

  Have a good day!

  Eh, this one wasn’t it. I just refreshed that edge, but it pulled ATG. Back on the to-hone pile it goes.

  I remember I’ve had trouble this razor before. Something about it makes it difficult for me to get a smooth sharp edge.

    Swedish steel tends to be harder. I’d be interested to know what the sharpening/bevel angle is on that razor :)

      I’ll get the calipers.

      Given our recent discussions and the agreed-upon situational we could get away from the angle discussion and use to the thickness/width ratio going forward. No irrational numbers involved here, just a caliper and rule

  I didn’t notice it when the tub was new, but after using it yesterday I started to notice the same sort of volatile hit that I get when I take the lid off of Mood Indigo. I don’t think it’s a base funk, because I don’t get it with Tobacconist or Santa Noir, so maybe it’s the same accord used in both scents. It’s honestly not that pleasant of a smell, but it dissipates pretty quickly, allowing the rest of the scent through. And what a great scent U&I(WD) is.
