At this point....just pick it up and rub it on your face to load..

Williams Shave #78


Williams Shave #79


The puck is now roughly the same size and shape as the medial meniscus of a large grown man (think NBA player). I continue to be able to load and get a good lather out of it.

Williams Shave #80


Puck is getting paper thin and smaller each day. Could we be in the last week of this challenge?

 

[heysi]

Its frowning at you.

 

[Majorrich]

That is a frown of defiance. "From hells heart I stab at thee: For hates sake I refuse to give my last bit of lather for thee."

Williams Shave #82


At the “nail clippings” stage.

To paraphrase Coolio
“I lived to see shave 82
Will I live to shave 84?
I don’t know.

We been spending most our lives
Living in a Williams paradise “

After one last great shave with wonderfully slick lather, this puck was finished. Thanks for all the encouragement and camaraderie along the way!

I bet you could get at least 2 more shaves out of the empty bowl.
