MARCH MADNESS 2025 DAY 10
Got my u/TheStallionPartThree soap in today. Pleasant, but light scent.
My unofficial count has Chiseled Face drop out. I'm glad I got to give it my support before it dropped.

Today's shave was sublime. I really enjoy the Mike's base which I discovered only weeks ago in AS2EB, and YRP always brings happiness.

Great shave. I used nice badger brushes the past couple of days, but I guess I just prefer a good synthetic.

Same gear
Panta rei - gattapardo.
I thought this was an Italian artisan but it says made in France. It's a fruity scent and a soap with a weird texture that lathers ok eventually once you've worked in enough water. Bit of irritation probably from the cinnamon.
Got it from a secret Santa and definitely not one of my faves

A great ZM shave to start the week. Have a good Monday y'all.
I'm a bit disappointed to see Chiseled Face eliminated so early, but it's been stiff competition so far. Definitely looking forward to the next round. Let's go, Stirling!

Same, but at the same time, other than TSF every dropmoit going forward will feel a bit sad to me
Agreed!
