$discord I'm on team Fanzine, but I have to ration my tub until later in the month. So for now my vote is SBS. One of the best bases out there and some wonderful original scents with wonderful original artwork.

I also used my SBS brush handle which has my favorite badger knot in it, a Maggard Silvertip.

Double Moose!

The way I do it, I don't really get the ring of death. I get cliffs of despair.

Have a good one.

Wonderful shave today, though I managed to nick myself on a bump, creating a shave that was a little too close to the blood.
