Have a good evening!

Looking back at u/cowzilla3’s notes on this one I knew it was going to be a tricky soap to lather. Precision Loading produced a good result, or so I thought. The soap fell apart. I should have looked at Mystic Water’s lathering instructions. Anyway, by pass 3 it was pretty much see-through foam. I take all the blame. Interestingly, it shaved well without any irritation and left my skin feeling nice. Mystic Water indeed. The scent was nice throughout.
In today’s satchel, I received a Stirling Soap Co. Gatlinburg bath soap bar which smells amazing.
I forgot to mention, yesterday I killed my first sleeve of Feather New Hi-Stainless. 200 blades back-to-back. Today, I cracked open a new one.
Have a good day!
Mystic Water soap is made about 25 minutes away from where I live. I had one of her soaps, but my daughter took it. I should buy another just to support her. I doubt that Windjammer would measure up to the original for me, but Gunpowder Spice (my SOTD) certainly does.
Gunpowder Spice is tomorrow’s shave for me!

Tub kill. I’ve had this tub for quite some time. I think I bought it used from someone on Reddit. I always sort of thought the scent was relatively basic but enjoyable, but using it day after day recently made my nose pick up on some details that were really enjoyable. I’m not going to replace it, but I see why this one is popular with the “use the same thing every day” crowd.
Congrats! I vowed to kill two tubs this year. Failed miserably. Oh well, that’s what New Year’s Day resolutions are for.

My first shave with this razor went well. This is also my first time with a round point straight razor. I found it significantly easier to control the toe and get to some of the more difficult nooks on my jawline. Overall, I very much enjoyed this razor and look forward to developing more skill with it.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a shave test of the synthetic edge that I just put on this Genco razor, but the star of the show was the Old Spice/Black Powder scent of the soap and splash from The Holy Black. For me, it doesn’t get much better than this!
