Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Closing out my workweek with a couple of classics from Led Zeppelin. Hope you enjoy.
Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 28
A great shave with which to close out the month. Like yesterday, incredible lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Peregrino" synth for three passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with a splash of Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, followed by Castle Forbes "1445" aftershave balm and Rogue Perfumery "Bon Monsieur" EdT.
The "Happy Hogan" Homefront Report: First, the results of the PAA synth / Williams combo is about as good as it gets. Second, decided this morning to forgo any more shaves on this blade. Didn't get a "bad" shave, but after three passes I did have irritation on my neck. Wasn't the lather's fault. That was just as good as yesterday's. Third, after watching several of the @BarberDave shave videos and hearing all the glowing talk about the CF "1445" balm, I had to try it. He's right (as usual). Incredible stuff! A little goes a long way. Fantastic scent and very soothing. Absorbed quickly and didn't leave my face feeling tacky.
Hope you have a great day.
