Day 2 in the books. I've mentioned this before, but I'm not a huge fan of the CFG soap base. It's virtually impossible to get a dense, shiny lather with this stuff. It always ends up light and fluffy. No matter how much water you add it never gets a sheen and just thins out so protection is lacking compared to something like Stirling or Milksteak. Regardless, the slickness is there so it's completely serviceable and I had zero issues with the OCMM today. The blade already smoothed out a little bit compared to yesterday so it was smooth sailing. The brush felt the same, but man I noticed the hog stench even more this time. Raw Hoggin' is the perfect name for this challenge lol.
