After killing my Haverford and giving the SV a good first few tries this is the first time in a bit I've used one of the other soaps in my rotation. I've been holding on to this one using it pretty sparingly but I think it's time to start using it up. Got maybe 1/3 of it left.

Woodshop broke on me. It was totally my fault though. Classic too little soap/too much water error. It was all see-through foam on pass 3. I do have to complement the base since it was still slick. Alum gave me a B+, a decent result.

Have a good one.
