Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 23

Fantastic shave this morning. Great lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Cyclotrode X" synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with a splash of Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, followed by Pitralon "Pitralon Classic" aftershave splash, a dusting of Clubman talc and Geo. F. Trumper "Wild Fern" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
