  Digging in the back of the drawer this week – Prairie Creations was an artisan soap maker back when I got into wetshaving as a hobby, who have sadly since closed shop. Walter was her tribute / recreation of the traditional Williams Mug Soap, and while the scent of my puck has mellowed since I bought it the performance has not.

  Wow, incredible shave. I’m speechless. I guess it helps if you use some of your favorite gear all together. The blade continues to impress, but unless it can get to 40+, the cost isn’t justified for me. The shaves are good, but there are other good blades out there, even if they don’t last as long.
