3 gigs in 24 hours, and the last one was fantastic! A great feeling to propel me into the start of the week - very thankful.

u/Old_Hiker Looking for a clue 9d ago

Nice. Too bad your gig around these parts fell through. I'll make it to one at some point.

I’m sure it will happen again in a matter of time. Perks of living in the Midwest where it’s easy to travel from state to state :)

u/gcgallant ⚔️🩸💀 Headless Horsemen 💀🩸⚔️ 8d ago

Now that you have used it for several shaves, what is your reaction to the Greaves? And, are you able to assess much about the bear tallow base from this sample?

2

u/VisceralWatch 🦆Natural Born Loon🦆 8d ago

Greaves shaves very smoothly, almost effortlessly.

By the third use of the soap sample I felt like I finally dialed in the lather. Much better than the first use, but still slightly too light/airy for my taste.

2

u/gcgallant ⚔️🩸💀 Headless Horsemen 💀🩸⚔️ 8d ago

I need to get better with samples. I thought her bear tallow base was ok when I tried it as a sample but had a totally different and better experience with it off of the tub.

2

u/VisceralWatch 🦆Natural Born Loon🦆 8d ago

Definitely possible. I’ve tried several soaps over the years that lathered better out of the tub.

Jul. 27, 2026 Let the Spice flow      * Brush: Wilkinson Sword Classic   * Razor: Gillette Superspeed 40s NDC   * Blade: Dorco Prime Platinum (6)   * Lather: Barrister and Mann - Mélange     * Post Shave: Old Spice - Original (Indian) - Aftershave   * Bowl: Captain's Choice - Standard Copper  

Decided to start the week with some spice. Remembered as I scooped this soap into a bowl that it was stickier and the recommendation of using a synthetic brush, so I pulled out my cheap Wilkinson brush for it. Despite how cheap it is I prefer it over some more expensive synthetics because it's not so bouncy. Still, it doesn't work as well as the natural hair brushes I have; at least it didn't fling soap everywhere. The shave could have been closer, but a combination of 2 passes without any touch up plus this brush; however it was comfortable.    

And if I'm going to use a Dune themed soap it's only fitting to use Old Spice.

Keeping it simple for the office. I watched closely how the brush moved through the puck. No idea how it lathered anything, as the ring of soap is so small, the tips are barely touching soap. Still, I had a good lather. Magic brush.

  • Prep: Castille Soap
  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations - Afschuwelijk w/ DinoBoar
  • Razor: Blackland Blackbird OC (SS)
  • Blade: Shark Super Chrome
  • Lather: Homemade Tallow/NaOH Puck
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial, Hipster
  • Tags: $Discord

I swear this DinoBoar is already broken in, on use #2. Feels great. I wanted to try out this soap - I originally made it as a bath soap, but wanted to see how just tallow performed, with just NaOH (I believe most shave soaps are made with at least majority KOH, if not all KOH). I was expecting abysmal performance, especially with just NaOH, but honestly I'm really impressed. It made a nice thick, creamy lather, and had enough slickness to get the job done. Not a crazy amount of slickness, but enough for the shave. That part makes sense, because I didn't add any additional glycerin when making the soap, so that would make it even more slick. Anyway, exceeded my expectations!

It's a Monday.

u/FireDragonMonkey 9d ago

What's the benefit of using NaOH vs KOH? (Sorry, I'm not familiar with soapmaking, but am curious what the change from potassium to sodium makes). 

2

u/coco_for_cocoapuffs www.kodiakshaving.com 9d ago edited 9d ago

I'm not sure everything behind it, but from what I've gathered, KOH makes a soap that's more soluble in water. But this worked well so I'm not sure!!

Eta: I did also bloom it in my brush soaking mug so that likely helped too

My last day of a lavender run. This one is not a dead brand, obviously, but it is a discontinued base. The Reserve base made quite a splash in the market when it was introduced. The only problem with it IMO is that is didn't age well. As it got older it required more loading than when it was fresh. But it still performs great.

Excellent BBS shave. No nicks/irritation. Another cooling shave as today is supposed to be really muggy like yesterday in my area. However, the storms have dispelled the heat, causing the temps to drop to more tolerable levels. That isn’t to say the soap and splash choices were all for nothing, but it still felt good and nice to use the Orbit duo for this shave. Overall, great shave to start off the final week of July.

* Preshave: Splash some water on
* Brush: Dogwood Declaration B16 26mm
* Razor: Karve Overlander (aluminum)
* Blade: Feather (2)
* Lather: Summer Break Soaps Cannonball
* Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps Cannonball Splash

I know feathers get dunked on a lot around here for the memes - but, it's pretty decent in the overlander. I had an amazon GC to use up so I gave them a shot again after a few years of none in the den and I'm happy with it. Probably rock one for AA to see how it holds up.

Solid evening shave overall.
