Very interesting Shave today. If you notice it says top secret under the soap, that is because I cannot release what kind of soap it is, I cannot release what the fragrance notes are, because I’m actually beta testing. A very well-known soapmaker approached me to test a new soap base and I agreed under the conditions that it is confidential in nature but I can’t say the performance of the Proposed soap base is unbelievable I wish I could say more but more testing is required all of the parts of the shaver wonderful and the vector which is the razor I use for all testing and/or reviews worked as planned

As to the Kona files again because of the weather sleeping until I get ready to leave and then it’s duck jerky and chicken jerky today

Have a great day

Day two of testing and this time face lathering. Able to load off a one-inch sample container boast well for the soap and only with 15-sec load time. Again, performance is stellar and frag stays at a 4-4.5 SOS throughout the shave. As alway when evaluating a soap in tje 1st couple of days, for consistency, the vector and Corleone gets the call to keep variables down as much as possible, and to concentrate on the soap. Will be doing a video on this soap testing tomorrow including the metrics I use to evaluate. EXCITING STUFF. Zzzzzzzzz🤪

KONA FILES:
Again slept till he heard me getting coffee then jerky a high five (paw version) and off to bed he went

Have a great Saturday

Day Three of the Beta Testing and it just keeps getting better. This soap hits on all metrics and will be a huge winner once released. 1st test shave with using a Removable Straight, and it performed better than expected. I will be real excited when I can reveal it as well

Good shaves last couple of days. Extremely busy at the shop, and at home as well cleaning up after the storms. Sharon’a Birthday week continues leading up to her actual B-Day on Sunday.

Kona has been a good pup and routine. Patrol, Constitional, shake off the rain, smack the cat, jerky a salute and back to the couch…. Ahh the life
