Like this brush more lately

I must have been tub loading a bit too hard because a couple chunks broke off the ring of death. It happens but the ring wasn't getting all that thin just yet. I pressed it back into the container and I'll use some other soaps for a couple days so it can harden a bit.

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
I will be very sad when Gravefruit is no longer around.
Darkwing is so good. CGC++

$discord Had to shave quick!
This was my first shave with Mike's Natural Soaps. What a nice base. I have shaved plenty of times with soaps having vetiver as a component but couldn't tell you what it specifically smells like. This scent is very nice.
Have a good one.
Mike's is great!
I also really like his Vetiver, but I have to be in the mood for it.
