Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 79

Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice. Phenomenally thick and slick lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Amber Aerolite" synth for three passes with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with alum, Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, Guy Laroche "Drakkar Noir" aftershave lotion & EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

SOTD - 4/26/2025

House of Mammoth Shire
Alpha Shaving Works / Shave Dad Aluminum Razor
Brush by Allen Long

From the House of Mammoth website:

Shire was inspired by a friend who loves The Hobbit, and suggested a scent that captures the opening scene where Bilbo is relaxing with his pipe and taking in the verdant beauty of the shire, when Gandalf arrives to invite him on an adventure.
Fresh air and violets mix to form a light breezy opening, with rich green heartnotes and a warm tobacco base. It’s a summery tobacco scent, if that’s possible, and we hope you like it.

Shire notes: violets, fresh air, vetiver, spice, and tobacco.
