Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 26

Great shave this morning. Wonderful lather built with the RazoRock 400 SE 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 Dana "English Leather" aftershave lotion, a dusting of Cussons "Imperial Leather" talc and Dana "English Leather" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Williams Mug Soap Challenge: Day 27

Possibly the best shave of the entire month this morning! Simply incredible lather built with the Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "The Peregrino" 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 Williams Aqua Velva "Frost Lime" aftershave lotion, a dusting of vintage Williams "Aqua Velva" talc and Mancera "Cedrat Boise" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)
