13 February, 2025

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 13

Phenomenal shave this morning. Super thick and slick lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Cyclotrode X" synth for three passes with the '58 Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Pinaud "Clubman" aftershave lotion, talc and Dana "Canoe" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Stirling Soap Company Ozark Mountain
Stirling / Zenith 30mm Boar
Henson Razor Medium

From the Stirling website:

A drive through the Ozark Mountains in fall is the best way to describe this scent. It is woodsy, spicy, and absolutely the closest fragrance we have found to replicating the aroma of the Ozarks.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 14

Great shave this morning. Fantastic lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Peregrino" 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 vintage Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur aftershave lotion, a dusting of Clubman talc and vintage Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
