  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1948-50)
  • Blade: Durablade Sharp Hi Chromium (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave Balm

Welp, my Leviathan balm is now officially gone but a decent amount of the soap is still left. I don't believe this has ever happened to me before, in fact if anything it's usually the opposite. I didn't think I was ever using too much balm each time, it was never more than a single pump. Is it possible that a single pump dispenses more than they intend for a single use? (Obviously that's possible, I just wouldn't have expected it.)

Leviathan is amazing. It is the only tub of soap that I've killed. I never had the balm, but still have the aftershave.

Agreed. I had it in one of their earlier soap bases too.
