I’m reading your Post and I’m like, “I dig the Lea Stick and the Brush, maybe the countertop.” Hang in there, you’ll be back to your beautiful razors and brushes soon!

I can’t wait! A week to go yet.
My travel brush is great, for traveling, but the razor, the aseptic and de-humanized bathroom of hotel rooms, is just a drag. the Lea stick has a pass...
Thanks for you comment!

Day 2 with the test soap. Today I used Nathan's @merkurman lathering method and the results were outstanding:

The lather was glistening and the consistency of fresh yogurt. Yummy.
The soap, itself, is a firmish croap, which, when pressed, will give, but not even close to a cream. Once again, the "scent-less" product has a very mild, natural, soap-like scent. Yesterday I compared it to churned butter, today, the image of a newly-opened bar of Ivory soap came into my mind. The produced lather is quite stable, without any dissipation during the pass. Slickness was excellent, as I was able to buff freely on all regions of my beard. One could make a pass after rinsing, as the residual slickness remains---as long as your face is wet; not damp, but wet.
Post-shave was better today, none of the tautness I experienced yesterday. I have no explanation for that.
Tomorrow, I am going to grab a straight razor and see how this soap protects my skin and if my blade can swipe freely.
Have a great day!
