Razor: Gillette Big Fellow
Blade: Wizamet (?)
Brush: @Techichi
Soap: Tonsorial Williams
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Anthony's Authentic Bay Rum
Fragrance: BVLGARI Aqva Amara
Island life, aaaaaaah. Don't ya hate when your nearing the end of vacation and have to go home to routines again. Should have this soap wrapped up before the beginning of next week............................hopefully. Not sure how my 1508.5 turned into a 3017 but blame it on my get it done attitude when I start something. The Big Fellow I need to send for a re-plate but want to get time to try cleaning it first.
It's Friday and I have a HOT one to do a house and some floors but I WILL hydrate. Have a good day Cadre !!!

Razor: Schick "G" Injector
Blade: Schick Chick (?)
Brush: Wolf Whisker Black Wolf
Soap: Tonsorial Williams
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Nivea 2 into 1
Fragrance: Penhaligon's Endymion Cologne
Things had been feeling bleak on the island and Sam and I had decisions to make.
Still a successful day on the island was had. Before the shave this was the soap...
I had a great lather but again the slickness the Vintage Williams is known for was lacking. I don't know if it was due to the end of the puck or the Aqua Velva soak it had early on. Regardless a close comfortable shave was had but care was needed on the ATG pass. Topped off with Humphrey's, Nivea 2 into 1 splash and Endymion. I'm done checking the pieces around the bowl and decided I'm calling this one and adding the pieces to the 2nd clown puke tub in progress.
Unfortunately Sam @woodpusher has not been cooperating with my plans to leave the island.
But in the end I was able to get off the island for the final time. Looking forward to some variety in my shaves going forward and trying some new things that have been sitting in the wings.
I learned a lot from my time on the island that has help my mindset on things going forward. Have a great day Cadre !!!

Well, even though the last few shaves lacked slickness, there's something cool about getting to try out a classic product. I know you're looking forward to some variety. Enjoy it, you earned it!
