Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 25

Great shave this morning. Wonderful lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Solar Flare" synth for three 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 Avon "Bay Rum" aftershave lotion, a dusting of vintage Avon talc and Murray and Lanman "Florida Water" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
