    • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
    • Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline Jewel
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (9)
    • Lather: Catie's Bubbles - 322 - Soap
    • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
    • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

    Love it. 322 is dank and wonderful, and the Premium base is pure luxury (shouldn't the Luxury base be named something else?).

        Maybe I’ll ask Chris in the Discord chat.

        I can only assume it’s because Luxury came first, so changing the name of that base would confuse people? Although before Premium came out, I don’t know if his base had a name.

          That’s what I think too. I assume that he’s locked into it for marketing reasons.

            Here’s his answer:

            Lux came out in 2016, Prem in 2022

            I picked Prem cause it seemed like the only way to step higher

            We’ve all had luxury goods that weren’t the highest quality, but the cream of the crop is always the cream of the crop, just ask Randy

              Thanks! I think Luxury is a fine base but I never thought it was top tier. Since I can find a way to make most soaps work, I wasn’t too concerned. Apparently, Chris was. I admit, I like the Premium base much better.
