My New Year's shave: Out with the old, in with the new

Wolfman WR1 SB with Darwin Handle
Feather Platinum
Barrister and Mann Leviathan
Saponificio Varesino 2.0 in Cocobolo

Wow, how did you already use up that 2016 Leviathan?  Scoop out the remainder, pack it into the new one, and shave on!

I've heard that Leviathan is one of those love it or hate it fragrances. I'm in the 'love it' camp. Couple that with mainly 28 and 30 mm badgers, heavy loading, and voila, a completed soap. Even at that rate, I'm good with soaps for a few more decades

I've already scooped it out and added it to the new one. I might have a hoarding issue, because I haven't thrown out the empty yet! That might explain the stacks of soaps...

Tonight's shave. Favorite forum and my favorite artisan.
