Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 10

Great shave this morning. Great lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Solar Flare" synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by BushKlawz "Pacific Prince" aftershave lotion, a dusting of Yardley "Gentleman" talc and Coty "Aspen" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
