The only thing I don’t like about wet shaving is picking a soap each day. I mean, I do like it, immensely. Otherwise I would never have collected over two hundred tubs of the stuff. But I don’t care for the indecision and all the time spent wondering what I will leather up each morning. I suppose I could just stick with one soap like any other normal human. But in practice that’s dreary. Same old, same old every day just drains the joy out of a shave. So I’ve been looking for a compromise, something between flitting from soap to soap day by day on the one hand and stolidly plowing my way through an entire puck week after week on the other. The answer came to me this morning when I remembered a thread Nero posted years ago on another forum. He suggested picking one soap for an entire week, and then sticking with it. He let his subscribers define ‘week’ any way they wanted to. Very generous, that.

Haha, yessir. Over on The Shave Nook.

Admittedly, other members added much more content to it than myself... Due to their efforts, it was one of the most viewed and longest running threads on that forum.
