Hard(er) soaps: use a fine (cheese) grater and then press them in

Didn't know that was an option, learnt something new for sure thanks so much for telling me that

I've noticed you use the aftershave balm from The Stray Whisker, been eyeing it myself and what are your thoughts on it? I currently use and Alum block, but I feel it's not doing a good job for some reason (maybe I'm using it wrong, i'm not sure) but yeah i've been meaning to purchase it. Also you're shaving soap I think is either a Crown King or a PAA was wondering if they're hard soaps otherwise could you comment on their longevity?
Sorry if I look like a creep, Waiting for my account to be manually approved I was lurking throughout this forum and noticed you posted in the SOTD hahaha also you live in Vanuatu? In my engineering course we're doing a project about Vanuatu and water filtration

Love your work man!

the alum block I started using I just dip in water, shake excess off hard then rub directly to my face. but now I've changed to the TSW after balm I use nothing else unless it's for scent. it's my everyday after care and I won't use anything else.

I have a few PAA soaps. you go threw then quickly but they are in my book one of the best soaps. scents are amazing and performance is amazing for a vegan soap. I love them will always use PAA products.

and nah mate I'm in the navy I just visit there alot arena just went on honeymoon there and I'm back in sydney australia now

if u ever have any questions mate don't hesitate to PM me also

My all time favorite recipes because I love hard soaps cause they last for many years of shaving
