Today's shave is brought to you by the letter "W." And what better "W" to use than Windjammer by @Mystic Water ! This is Michelle's take on Old Spice and I think it is spot on. This soap is in a stick and personally, I think that that Mystic Water works really well in stick form!

This morning I really took my time and built a nice lather...slowly adding water like you are supposed to. To often I just throw a bunch of water on my face...dunk the brush in a mug of water and whip up a lather. But this morning I really took my time. I was rewarded with a supper slick lather. If you add just the right amount of water with Mystic Water...you will be rewarded with one of the slickest soaps in your den.

Just a two pass shave and a healthy dousing of Vintage Old Spice and man...I feel like I am ready for work. Well, ready to sit at the table and look at my computer all day while I work. 🤪
