  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed A1 (1955)
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave Balm

I'm really getting down to the end of the Leviathan balm, having to bang it upside down against my hand to get some out. I do kinda wish they had a different container than the pump bottle. I don't know what a better alternative would be, but it's frustrating not being able to get it all out.

Pumps are the best for balm 100% IMO.

What’s your method for getting the last bits out at the end? Or do you just not bother about getting every last drop?

Yeah, if something is frustratingly empty, I rinse it out and toss it in the recycling. You could transfer it to another container that you can scoop with your finger if you want every last bit?
