Second use of AG 1889 for me, and second experience of frag burn. This soap needs to go, unfortunately 😢
I have only had one use on my tub of AG 1889. No issues with it so far. Looks like Armonía is a winner, though.
Yes, Armonía is one of those love-at-first-sniff fragrances for me, too. So alive 🤩
Happy to hear that 1889 works for you, it's great scent!

Temperatures have risen beyond 20 degrees here, but the sun has not come out. I've used several times Marduk, and I would assume that I have at the most another 10 shaves in it. A nice soap, but requires heavy loading.
Have a good day!
We have practically summer a few hours southeast of you. Short sleeves everywhere and lines at the ice cream shop ⛱️☀️🌞

I haven't used this knot in a while and was expecting it to be how I remember -- lots of backbone and a little scritchy. Instead, it splayed pretty easily and felt pretty nice.
I like these Dorco blades. I'd get some in bulk if I didn't have a ton of blades already.
