Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave today. Been a while since I had a Williams shave so I broke out one of my pucks. Not sure what era this one is from but lather quality (and ease of building it) is much better than anything I've used recently (i.e. pucks bought at the local drug store before they all disappeared). No detectable scent left but, as noted, the lather was exceptional, thanks to the Simpson "Chubby" 1 Best Badger brush. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by William's "Aqua Velva" aftershave lotion.
Hope you have a great day.
