    Well, maybe the whole “moar boar eats soap” thing is true? Today I used 4.2 grams of soap, which is more than the average so far this month of 2.63 (now bumped up to 2.86 grams after this shave).

    And you know what? I would have liked more lather. There was plenty available, but not the copious amount that I’m accustomed to when using synthetic knots.

    Not shaving related, but I had another chance today to work for my father in a tower clock. If you find it interesting, check out the pictures below. Today we spent all day removing one of the dials and lowering it to a lower floor. There are 4 glass dials which weigh about 85 lbs (38 kg) each. They’ll be transported a couple hours away and restored with fresh paint. The clock movement is also in my father’s possession for restoration.

    Luckily nobody fell down the large hole in the middle of the floor!
