I'm voting again for Spearhead, and I'm curious whether today marks TSF's demise.
This is my first use of the B3, and I'm happy that the 24 mm size is perfectly fine. I can tell I'll get along very well with it.
Stunning setup today! Great photo!
Thanks! this has become a standard photo setup and backdrop that I can process quickly

Today seemed as good a day as any to try out Talent Soap Factory.
Thanks to /u/tsrblke for sending this sample to me.
Gotta admit, this stuff smells like money. I struggled with the base, though, but that often happens the first time you use something.
To the moon!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Great shave today. Very close and comfortable. I haven't used this Koraat near wedge in quite a while, and I admit that the r/wetshaving Koraat exclusive was on my mind today. Blugère is so unique. Simply one of the great scents of wetshaving.
