Oops, super busy day and I almost missed my SOTD post. This tub of soap was on my 2021 kill list. It's mostly full. Ugh.

Fun little thing I saw now looking at the SOTD pic: The bevel is mirror polished (duh, but:) and in this picture it becomes very visible because the word RUM of the balm label is reflected on it. Neat!
