Nice, Mark - how do you like the K10 soap?
I'm gonna have to take some time and learn it.. My first lather with it yielded fairly poor results. I didn't wet/soak the puck and used a relatively dry brush (soaked while in the shower and squeezed out before loading). Lather was similar to what the common complaints for MWF are; really thin and airy that disappears quickly.

Second attempt yielded much better results but I'll still need to work at it to find the right water-to-soap combination. I think next time I use it I'll soak the puck for a bit and see how that works.

Still, seems like it'll be great once I've found the right ratio. Scent is nice, leathery..

Jeremy, how great is it shaving off 2-3 days of beard with a straight?! Fantastic, no?

It's so great I have considered growing a beard just so I could mow that sucker off with 3"-4" of steel. But that would take too long and I am impatient, so I will settle for mowing stubble.
