Armonia and Caoba have been on my radar for a while now. Straights have really shoved me in the direction of Chicago Grooming and Wholly Kaw. Both companies have unique and excellent soap bases.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I'm traveling. Had this shave in the early morning, but I'm now just getting around to logging it. I'm up in the mountains of Massachusetts. Beautiful day up here. I take LGC for granted. Oddly, I seldom use it even though I know it's a great scent in a great soap base.

I'm headed on travel for a couple of days. Seville was a nice way to start the trip.
It just loads slowly for some reason.
I found this to be the case as well. With the sample, I just put a 1/4 teaspoon in a bowl, used a damp brush to build the kind of paste I would get from loading directly off the puck, then face lathered normally. I remember thinking that the paste took a long time to develop.

I just started to see the bottom of the tub with this soap. I guess I like it a lot. I certainly enjoyed it today. Wonderful scent, and also a great soap base which provided a foundation for the Iwasaki to effortlessly slide through stubble.
Enjoy your weekend!
