    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I am declaring shenanigans on my Murphy & McNeil The Great Bear soap. I tried to lather it, once again, today. I tried both face lathering and bowl lathering and could not get it to build any volume. This is the Kodiak base which I used yesterday and Saturday. With this recent experience, I know how the soap base should lather. Oh well. I like this soap but I can live without it.

So I pivoted to Indigo on this Mammoth Micromatic Monday. A jazz club smelling of black pepper, blueberry, rum, vetiver, and oud. What's not to love.

As usual, the MMOC was very kind to me. This razor fits my shaving style perfectly and has always been good to me. Lovely shave this morning!
