What soap/cream did you use today?

Mystic Water usually sits in a dark corner of my cabinet mostly forgotten. When I do use it I'm forced to wonder why I don't use it all the time. Can be a little tough to lather but it's super slick and a great all around shave. 

Kilix (Joserra) woody floral
Shave 2 ・ 108 g left

A kilix is an ancient Grecian wine cup. Broad and shallow, it’s typically decorated with characters from classical mythology. While heroes, monsters, gods, and goddesses are sprinkled liberally all over the cup, the best picture is saved for the inside of the bowl. That way, as the drinker sips his wine, the scene slowly appears.

The label for today’s soap shows the hero Theseus slaying the Minotaur in the labyrinth of Crete. He’s about to lop off the beast’s ear in much the same way that a modern matador cuts off the ear of the bull he’s just killed. The goddess Athena stands at his side.

I came to shave, but I ended up with a classical education.

Wonderful story!

BTW, how's the Overlander treating you?  I've been using it the past couple shaves and can definitively state it's now the #2 razor in the den
