Kismet Blade - Losing My Edge
#Monthofweckoning


Today I went for a luxury lather. I loaded longer than I normally, do and spent more time building for each pass. With a soap as good as SV, you really need to do this. It allows you to experience the full quality that this soap offers. I used Midnight Stag last August and thoroughly enjoyed it (well, I don't like making frag spray videos). SV, however, is on a whole other level. [Obviously, MOIMO]

No need for a microscope photo today.

Enjoy your weekend!
