Easy lather with the DG bison base, though after almost a week of GEM shaves I felt like I had to work harder with the 921-M. Great results in the end though.
I can tell I will get along well with this shoat knot. It's still a little poky and needs breaking in, but it already felt great.

Too generous! Thank you!
Tobacconist soap is great, I’m sure the frag must be equally great.
The other two sound lovely as well. Nice pickups!
There’s just no respect for a noun’s gender these days
Idk what shipping would look like to me, but I’d gladly take that GC head off you.
Feel free to dm if interested
Ah, they did say Spotify.
The article and controversy are about Shopify, that’s where Kanye was selling his swastika shirt.

Finally, on day 12, our robot overlord pulls a soap I can match! LGC is a great scent that is a pleasure to shave with, and BaM always gives me an excellent lather.
This was also my first shave with this knot after moving it to a new handle. I lofted it a bit lower, which feels like an improvement. I also used stainless steel washers as spacers this time. The added extra weight feels quite nice.

You found it! What did you think of the scent?
Also that’s an even more generous interpretation of the rule than I’d taken, but I have to admit the rule’s wording allows for it.
I hope you feel better soon.
Nicotine withdrawal is awful, but luckily fairly short-lived (as long as you don’t ingest more nicotine;)).
If you’re open to a recommendation, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr was very helpful to me when I quit smoking. It does a great job reframing nicotine addiction.
Obviously take it or leave it, just felt like it might be worth mentioning.
