Fanzine is super good! You can email him today for a 2oz tub of a new scent, and I hear he's going to throw in some random 4oz tubs to make it interesting. $12.50 shipped CONUS is a good deal. Cheap, even! I didn't order any, but maybe someone here will be interested. Send me a message for the email address, I don't want the email scrapers to get it.
This edge isn't feeling as great as it once did. I'll probably use it once or twice more before giving it a synthetic refresh.

Shave 25 of the brain bowl
Fougere Angelique might be the next soap I try to kill. I think there's about 20% of this tub left. It's a great scent, but I need to make some room!
I continue to enjoy these Personna GEM DE blades. Very smooth shavers.
I don't have the theme soap or anything like it. Airbud day!
