Yep, I get that and do the same often. I think you get a greater appreciation of the combination when you use for a week too.

Yes, saves me from standing in front of all my soaps trying to make a decision and also get a great appreciation for the gear I'm using. For me, it works!
This is a large reason why I stick to the same tub from whoa to go.
Really let’s me dial in a soap to perfection.
Speaking of which, I forgot to photo my empty PAA tub yesterday...

Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460 Boar Brush
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Green Man Fougere
Razor: RazoRock Baby Smooth Al - Electric Blue

Lupo change of blade from Feather to Polsilver was very obvious with post shave stubble returning after a few hours whereas 10+ with Feather. Baby Smooth and Polsilver 14 hours and minimal stubble.
 
Left Luxembourg, travelled through Belgium and arrived in The Netherlands. All in a day before a stroll around Rotterdam this afternoon -
