It is extremely hot in most areas of the Great Southern Land, and menthol soaps are a blessed relief at this time of year.
The short loft of the 26mm knot M&F brush is fantastic for soap loading, and soon had a good load ready to go. I initiailly bowl lathered using the blue Timeless bowl, then transferred to the face to finish the process. Was DFS+ after two passes, and BBS after the third, with a lovely post shave.
I had thought that this would be the final shave with this tin of Stirling Soap, but she has one more left in her!
