Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 84

And with today's shave gentlemen, I'm officially calling time-of-death on this puck of Williams. 84 of some of the best shaves I've ever had. Great (though difficult to build) lather for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel and Czech & Speake "Cuba" aftershave lotion and EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
