The slow feed bowl doesn't work for me either. The nubs get in the way of picking up the soap. It's me general criticism of most lather bowls. The ridges are counterproductive.
I suspect that if you use a smooth-bottomed bowl to create a big surface of soap (like in the tub), then you'll load just fine
Not even a little?
Eh, this one wasn't it. I just refreshed that edge, but it pulled ATG. Back on the to-hone pile it goes.
I remember I've had trouble this razor before. Something about it makes it difficult for me to get a smooth sharp edge.
It was nice giving Le Dandy another turn today. A nice, delicate little razor, this, and the only razor I ever bought in a real brick-and-mortar shaving store.
It was an excellent suggestion! 🍻
A delightful shave with a fresh Kismet blade. It' doesn't get smoother than this.
The Moar Boar is always such a pleasure to use. The dense knot with the strong backbone is like a little massage every time.
Great shave this morning, the edge is still going strong at 14 uses.
Fellow $HoneMeistershaft participants: remember this weekend to refresh your edge!
Quick morning shave before a busy day. I found the first split tips, we're officially entering the next phase of operation Raw Hoggin'.
I'm solidly back on the morning shave routine train and that feels good. I was almost expecting that, after yesterday's ultra-smooth Friodur 17 Second Luxury Shave™, this 50 would feel rough by comparison, but this edge and razor still feel smooth and pleasant. It just feels lighter, less deliberate, less substantial.
Nose blindness is setting in and the scent of Roman Spice starts to escape me while lathering and shaving. I still get the splash and the frag, so that's good, but I'm getting tempted to go more than my usual 2 spritzes, which is probably not the best idea for a day at the office.
Oh, and the brush is winning me over.
Another late evening shave. Is it just me or is it more difficult to find a moment of free time during vacation?
Good initiative, thanks!
All the samples I've sent have arrived, so everything is ready for Wednesday.
I'm fine with a turning presidency mode, but until that's actually decided, I'll nominate Barrister and Mann Lavanille.

Koké is one of my luckier blind buys. Heavy floral, a bit sweet, some pear and musk, really lovely stuff. Works well with Cerberus, too.
