Spitfire t. (Phoenix & Beau) leather juniper
Shave 17 ・ 64% left
Still chipping away at this Spitfire. It’s finally starting to loosen up. After five years in the tub, it had dried out and got leathery. Loading was a chore. But now, after a week of lathers, it’s softened up. Getting a brush full of soap is no longer a problem. The lathers are much improved, too – much richer and slicker than at first. Looks like there’s enough soap to get me through the end of this month. I know it kind of goes against the spirit of this thread to use the same soap day after day, but there’s also something to be said for sticking with one tub until you’ve got it working well for you.
