MdC is fine soap. I load a normal amount drspite some claims that you don't need much for a good lather.

I load MdC heavily as I do with most soaps. I’ve never had issues with it that others have.

Forgoing Austerity this month?

I'm shaving normally this month! I just killed a tub by using it almost every day, so time to mix it up.

I understand. I was going to try to kill a tub of Stirling by doing 62 shaves in August but could not find the motivation.
