3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Joe, at Subtle Art Soap Co., is recovering from a shoulder injury and has difficulty shaving with his dominant hand. I was asked by Sean Staplefeld to do a shave with my non-dominant hand to show Joe a little support. I was happy to do it, and I was quite surprised with how good my resulting shave was.
The Puma has a very satisfying buttery toast sound, and it is easy to move around. However, I should probably put it back on the stones, since it is not the smoothest. And finally, I managed not to mow down the moustache! Not sure that I will let it grow throughout November.

My second, and likely last, shave of #Rocktober. Finding the time to shave with an infant is nigh impossible. Really loving this soap, though, it really is a winner.
I think this is the penultimate shave for this Samhain sample. I had forgotten how great the scent is once lathered up. I hope to pick up a set in the upcoming BaM release...
Oh, yeah it's actually being released soon I believe.
It's a Barrister and Mann and SW collab that they took preorders for a while back. BaM (vegan) soap, splash, frag, balm, etc. They're also re-releasing Hallows at the same time as a "double feature" for Halloween.
My understanding is that they made extras, I'm at least going to grab a Samhain set I think.
Thanks for the info! Doesn't sound like a permanent thing unfortunately, but at least Samhain is somehow kept alive. It's such a beautiful autumn blend and was one of my first american artisan soaps (back when it was still hard to get them in the EU). So I've got fond memories connected to it. Gonna use it tomorrow!

Did I miss something? Is there actually hope that Samhain isn't dead?! 🤞🏻
