Happy birthday to Mr. Williams.
First time out with two classic products for me: Williams Mug Soap and Aqua Velva aftershave.
I pressed the puck into a Captain’s Choice ceramic bowl.
As per
@Spider advice, I let the puck soak overnight. With one blade challenge running this is going to be my kit for the time being
Seygus Zeppelin V2, Nacet blade (2), SOC Boar brush
This morning I let the brush and soap soak in the same water while I showered
Poured off most of the bloom water and here is the look after loading for 60 seconds.
Lots of big bubbles had me nervous. Scent was a very light citronella which always reminds me of the candles we light in the summer to keep bugs away, so a very positive and pleasant memory for a so-so scent. Went to my face to finish building the lather there and got a pretty good lather with a little bit of work.
Soap was very slick. 2 passes and I’m very nearly BBS. Overall very happy with the first outing.
