@snooting@sub.wetshaving.social's celebration of Mike's Monday yesterday inspired me to copy him, so welcome to Mardi de Michel. Mike's base is the bazillionth great base I tried, and it's the one that forced me to finally admit that there are more great soap bases than I'll ever manage to try 😅

Great shave with the little Heljestrand, and a reminder that I should refresh the edge on my bigger Heljestrand 14 already.

Decent shave. This lather ok. Just one of those things where you have to load dry/damp and heavy. The scent of this soap is right up my alley.
