June 14, 2023 - UnAlive

  • Brush: Yaqi Dandelion Green 24mm Cashmere
  • Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (9)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive Splash

Today is my first kill of a tub of soap. This was my Austere August soap last year, and I would guess I got 50+ shaves from it. Maybe even 60 shaves. So, it’s 1 out and 3 in? Probably not, but there is a Mammoth hole in my den that is begging for Dammusi. It is not to be. I have to watch my expenses until my wife is better, and we get a bit of savings again. I do still have a full other tub of Alive. Not enough was left today for the Moar Boar, but just enough to get a decent quantity with this soft synthetic. Decent shave, but the blade is on the downslope now. No going for a bbs with this blade in a razor, but still capable of moreshaves.

Now that Alive is dead, I can rotate other Mammoth scents in each week.

Congrats on the first kill. Alive was my AA soap last year as well and I killed the tub some time last year after AA.
