I’m sure I asked a similar question in the past, but did you finish that original stash of soap? If so, did you buy another pile of soaps or just one or two at a time now?

It was hard to not purchase this one when I was in Porto a couple months ago.I'm still plodding away with the Ach Brito Mogno. 55 shaves in and almost to the estimated halfway point. I keep the bar in a Fine lather bowl so the scent has pretty much dissipated. I'm thinking of finding a local potter to make a lid for the bowl.
Anyway, the shaves are great, this is a great budget soap....
Woot woot!@brucered
Amazing brush and equally incredible Tabac lather!
Although I have scads of Cade shaves left, I pulled out the next kill for my Saturday shave. I am not letting it sit any longer. It had a light layer of salt on the exterior. I love this scent as much as Cade!

I think your best badger has been worn down to a pure badger. Does Simpson have a lifetime warranty?Hmm based on that brush picture I wonder if I have been accidentally 3017ing my poor brush while I was working on the never ending brick of Vitos...

It is not nearly as round and fluffy as the similar brush online... I started the brick in February 2019 and have been and have only missed a couple morning shaves due to travel snafu or datelines making my day go poof. This brush has been used for well over 90 percent of the shaves since I don't always take it with me when I travel.
And so it begins….againI did and you can read about right here:
Now, after finishing this tub of Bay Rum today, I have two tubs of shaving soap (the Fine Barber Blue and Fine American Blend). I also have a tub of Fine Platinum (the hard soap) and a tube of Proraso and a tube of Speick.
And that’s it!
Pulled out one of my rarest brushes today.
Red Box, block letter Rooney ST2 Super.
This is actual lather pics, how like mine, no staging or extra loading etc.

Don’t kill it. You’ll regret it. I did (and still do).@brucered
