I love the Klar soaps in their small tubs but as you say lathering from such a small tub is not ideal so I use a sharp pen knife and scrape waffer thin slithers from the top of the cake / puck into my lathering bowl and add a couple of drops of hot water to bloom and then lather up with a boar brush, works a treat. :) P.

Without a doubt in my mind the most tallow like vegan soap around. Mitchells Wool Fat like post shave feel[emoji207]

This shave is a first for me with the Williams Mug Soap and the new Jayaruh brush. The brush was top-notch! Great ergonomics with the rubberset-like handle and the synthetic faux-horse hair with soft tips but very good backbone. 10/10. The Williams performed reasonably. The citronella scent was a surprise, the strength of it at least. But the lather for a first use though usable was a bit lacking as it collapsed very quickly on the face. The glide was there but a bit of cushioning would be welcome. I'll try to fine tune my process in future wednesdays to check if it was user error hehe.​

The ATT R2 (on loan from @Blackmass - cheers Rob), really is a mean machine, the whiskers don't stand a chance. Got the alum block out to check and a wee bit tingly around the chin but as I get more acquainted with the R2, I'm hopeful that'll improve.
@Digimonkey, this almost broke the Petrometer, an unbelievable 99.97 Petrifs. That's as smooth as the quartz, being polished continuously, by the cascading waters of the Angel Falls.
