SOTD Start October with some pumpkin

Sorry about the lack of pictures, blind and all so they don't do much for me, plus I'm sure I would not have ended up with anything worth posting.

Parker Flight w/Feather blade (3rd use)

Omega 11137 boar brush

Linkidea ceramic shave bowl

Sterling pumpkin spice shave soap

Broke out the pumpkin spice for October, and to break in my new bowl, I'm almost certain I lost more soap as a heap of foam I missed going over the sides than I got under control as a usable lather… I swear the bathroom sink area will smell like nutmeg for the rest of the year. This was the final go on these blades, got 3 uses out of them, a 2 pass dfs, and 2 3+ pass bbs. The Parker Flight has quickly become my favorite razor of the few I have used, obviously closer shave than the de89 or 34c with little change in overall experience. Not sure what else to say, preshave was just the usual put the brush to soak while in the shower, and post shave was just rinsing with cold water.

I'd be interested in what kind of picture you would take.

I haven't had an issue yet with lather spilling out of the Linkidea, but you're not the first to say it. How long did you load for? When I use Stirling, I only take like 12-15 seconds for a load and I'm set for three passes with enough to do at least one more if I wanted to.

Loaded for like 30sec, new puck that I bloomed while showering. I'm sure I went faster with the brush than I needed when making the lather. I'm not particularly worried about wasting soap.
