Decided that I would give the QED tub another whirl this morning. A close shave, and the lather was good for the first two passes, but by the third pass, the lather was starting to fade away. A much better lather than what I've gotten in the past, but still not completely satisfying.

Been away for a bit. I hope you have all been well.

*I'm totally sold on corking. I was going to toss the Swede but I figured what the heck, I'll see what this corking business is all about. My findings? The blade on day 3 after being corked shaved better than it did brand new! I'm a believer.
