2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Though sold out, the knot in this brush is still listed as a SHD knot.
I don't see a lot of Subtle Art Soap on the sub. This is a very nice vegan artisan soap with a nice family of scents. This Citrus Bay Rum is bright bay rum, not lacking in scent strength.
Ingredients: Distilled Water (Aqua), Stearic Acid, RSPO Palm Oil (Elaeis Guineensis Oil), Potassium Hydroxide, Kokum Butter (Garcinia Indica Seed Butter), Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit Butter), Fragrance/Essential Oil (Parfum), Vegetable Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Mango Butter (Mangifera Indica Seed Butter), Kaolin Clay
The daily challenge was very convenient. The two razors that I used today are on my "refresh" list. Today was an opportunity to try both in order to see if a refresh was needed. I used the MK-31 for the first pass and the Fili for the second pass. These are both full hollow razors with great steel, though the MK-31 is a bit stiffer. Neither razor really needs a refresh but I'll probably update both of them.
