    Ok shave made a bit of a mistake. This brush is such a soap hog it is ok to use but a pain to get filled up.

    Only the 2nd or 3rd use for this 2-Band badger from Maggard. I like it! I’ve discovered that I fall into the camp of “Gel bad”. Brushes with a little bit of character are so much more enjoyable to use.

    I really love this soap. Hopefully they’ll have it available next Summer as well, so that I can get the full tub and matching balm, instead of just the sample I’m currently working with.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co G5 Black/Green
    • Razor: Henson AL13
    • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
    • Preshave: Baxter Shave Tonic
    • Lather: Summer Break Soaps – Woodshop
    • Post Shave: Old Spice – Indian

    I was going to bring my next Great Spice Off soap to shave with on vacation after doing the first shave with it but I realized I wouldn’t be able to really give it a fair go. Instead, I grabbed my sample of Summer Break Soaps Woodshop, a sample I picked up from Maggards Meetup where I also met u/rocketk455 and convinced him to make an Old Spice scent. Yup, you heard it hear first. 100% convinced him. It’s happening.

    When I smelled this at Maggard’s I thought, “Yup, that’s a woodshop.” but upon actually giving it a sniff not surrounded by a million other scents and after lathering it’s more like woodshop but sexy. It’s like your woodshop instructor was the hot teacher and smelled really good. All the girls had a crush on this teacher and all the guys maybe thought about him too. It’s much more than just sawdust, for sure but clearly presents with wood as well. More thoughts after a few more shaves with but my only critique of this one is I wish the scent was a bit more.

    I love this G5 knot so much. Wonderful scritch and perfect for traveling at a slightly smaller size. I brought the Henso because I wanted easy, no thought shaves ad it does deliver but I honestly really don’t like how little feel is on this. I did a rare third pass this morning because you really need to with it. On the flip side, you just don’t need to think and sometimes that’s for the best.
