Shave 51

Last December I set out on a shave odyssey. My goal was to use this one soap until it was gone. I loved the scent – a mixture of Martin de Candre Vétyver and Agrumes – and the performance was stellar. But as the holidays rolled around I lost my way. The soap went back in its box. I felt sort of guilty for having jumped ship, but then I remembered that even Ulysses took a break from rowing every now and then. So now I’m picking up my paddle again.

Today I decided to take my bearings, a task I should have done at the outset of this journey. First, I emptied the jar of Agrumes-Vétyver, removing every last bit of soap. Next, I measured the weight of the vacant jar and its lid: 159 grams. After that, I kneaded the soap to ensure a thorough blend of the vetiver and citrus scents. The final step involved weighing the soap by itself: 247 grams. That represents just over a year’s supply of shaves.

I’ve got a brush I love, a razor I’m learning to love, a blade that works fine and dandy, and a fat tub of remarkable soap. Tie me to the mast!

As much as I would like to shave every day, I usually am every other day... but there is something especially magical about hitting it on a three-day growth. I could've stopped after the first pass (but did two for giggles). Great haircut and a great shave today... feeling quite well!
