Have some Seaforth! splash samples to use and figured I can use this soap to really see how it performs. Like most people who’ve tried it, the soap is really damn good for a vegan base.

Day 7 of APRil pulled a deliciously green trifecta today. Perfect for the office IMO
Great Mammoth Monday Morning shave! The software follows mellow warm fruit theme with varying accents, and the pretty Abalone gave me a great shave.

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very nice, very comfortable, and BBS, shave with an edge that was taken from dull to shaving sharp on an 8K synthetic stone.

A great shave before what's shaping up to be a busy Monday.
Have a good one y'all.

The Tech is such a lovely shaver. It got everything perfect as far as I'm concerned (except the skinny handle, but at least you can use whatever handle you prefer).
I've been using Vespers the past few days. It's a great scent, and Omnibus is a great base. I've been loading heavy and adding lots of water, which makes great lather.
