Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 18

Fantastic shave this morning. Wonderful lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Peregrino" 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 vintage Yardley Original aftershave lotion, talc and Czech & Speake "Oxford & Cambridge" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 19

One of the best shaves since I started the challenge this morning. Phenomenally thick and slick lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The 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 Clubman "Virgin Island Bay Rum" aftershave lotion, Clubman talc and Murray and Lanman "Florida Water".

Hope you have a great day. :)
