This CGC vegan soap is a winner in my book. Easy to lather, great slickness, and a nice scent.

Tagging in for $rocktober.

I still have plenty of this test sample left, hoping to maybe finish it off before the end of the year.

Great lather, excellent performance. I really like this soap and will probably pick up a tub of the final recipe when more is available.

My guess is 150+

It still cuts pretty well! I'm waiting for the efficiency to really drop off before stropping.

A nice and relaxing shave after our flight home today. We passed right by the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta on our way to the airport, which was an awesome way to start the day.

I still haven't stropped this razor since @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social honed it. I didn't get great results around my chin and needed to do a cleanup pass, but I think it was due to technique more than anything. The edge still feels plenty sharp.
