Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Late post but a great shave to start the day. Retuned to Shulton "Old Spice" for today's shave. Fantastic lather built with the vintage Ever-Ready brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, the matching aftershave lotion, aftershave lotion, talc and EdC.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Another great shave this morning. Retuned to my vintage Avon shave soap. When I first tried it, I was very disappointed with the quality of the lather. Today I applied the lessons I learned from the Williams mug soap challenge and it made a world of difference! Fantastically thick and slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, Murray and Lanman Peruvian Florida Water and vintage Avon talc.
Hope you have a great day.
