Mysteries abound in my shaving space!
I posted one of them in the brushes section. How do you tell the difference between a mixed badger/boar and a badger knot when the handles are identical? I have SOC Taj handles for both the badger and the Mistura. I went with the idea that the stiffer knot has boar hair in it.
My other mystery is a tub of the very nice Noble Otter Bare. NO LONGER A MYSTERY. I cannot find a record of when I got this tub. In reading over my shave logs, I stopped using this tub in 2023 when I decided to us up tubs purchased in 2021! What made me think it was "new" this year was that I don't remember seeing it in the soap drawer, but it was buried in the back, so most likely this was a case of "out of sight, out of mind!"
I had been trying to use up all the older soaps, got it down to just six, and then started buying only the soaps I really liked. So I have lots of emails for the new tubs. Except for the Noble Otter!
