Let's All 3017... 2019 Chiseled Face Edition

I am finding it difficult to believe that I only used 1.5g each shave the first four shaves. I know the scale says it but I’m not convinced. I also have made a point yesterday and today to purposely load heavier than normal to see if it changes anything.

Exaclty. Today I weighted out 3g and couldn’t even lather that much up in the bowl.
 
After today's burning, I have decided to switch to a different CFG product for the 3017.

I am going to switch to:

Haha! It really looked so much fuller than it was I swear! Unless I’m just loading ridiculously heavy. Either way, I’ll be back to variety way before all you suckers!

Even the before picture looks like 5% at best. Cheat-cheeat. You should be forced to 3017 Doug’s Shamrock.

\n\nYeah...I kind of failed here didn’t I? The CFG tubs are deceiving though because they’re so big they look half empty to begin with. I’m up for suggestions on continuing after this one is kicked. It has been nice just knowing what I’m going to use and not having to decide every night.
 
Are you guys putting the lid back on right away? Or are you letting dry out?

I shave in the morning, when I get home from work I put the lid back on.
 
I tend to put the lid back on. But even when I don't it still pretty moist. ( I Know I know People hate that word) .. Maybe it is because Salt Lake is dryer than NYC? Not sure. It is what it is.. I think I am a light loader.. Which used to be illegal in certain parts of the country. ?

You even had samples sent so you could decide in advance which to get. No excuses ???
 
I weighed the tub of Stubble Buster last night. It was 174 grams.

I shaved with it today and had the best shave yet this year. This is good soap. It may not be Elite, but it is definitely Tier 1.

No worries Dave. I mean it’s only a soap. Looking forward to the explication.
