Pretty close shave today with a tiny weeper along the jawline from trying too many different angles. I couldn't really focus on the shave this morning because the kids were running around and yelling outside the bathroom and both kids decided to take a dump at the same time during my shave. The joy of parenthood. Maybe tomorrow I should wait until the kids are out of the house before getting my shave on.

The brush was comfortable once again, and my recent experiments regarding soap consumption has come to an end. The conclusion is that this brush is not a lather hog (pun intended) and I'm just going to load generously and enjoying my luxurious lathers without worrying about running out of soap before the end of the month. My gut feeling is that the soap consumption of this brush is much closer to that of a synthetic than a dense badger.

The recent release of Permafrost made me realize that I really need some menthol in my life to survive summer here (35C+ every day for several months at a time) but unfortunately getting the product to Taiwan would not be straightforward. I decided to pick up some WS-23 locally (as well as WS-5 which is supposed to be colder than WS-23) and experiment with adding some drops to my lather and see how that feels so I'm looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.
