Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 81

Another phenomenal BBS shave this morning with the Williams. However, I did get a little too aggressive on my right jaw line. Nothing too bad however. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Tech and I finished with alum and Gillette aftershave gel.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Williams / Ever-Ready / Gillette / Wizamet / Thayers
