In an interesting turn of events, I used 4.9 grams of soap today! Way above average! That's why I'm taking a month long average, to take into account fringe events like this one.

Prior to shaving I scooped out 3 grams of soap to visualize what it looks like (because of a discussion on Discord), but I put that soap back in the tub, so that shouldn't have changed the weight. Here's what 3 grams of Stirling Mutton looks like. I shaped it like a nut to be funny, since people say "almond sized", etc.
