Since I live in Milwaukee, I had a little extra time to shave today as I waited for the roads to clear somewhat from our winter wonderland special of snow, sleet, and freezing rain (oh my!). So...

Shower and washed face with Musgo soap
Kyle's pre-shave prep
Mixture of GFT Coconut and Violet (I added too much water to the Violet initially and the lather went a bit too bubbly, so I added Coconut to compensate, thinking I would create and interesting concoction...I was wrong).

I originally planned this shave to coincide with what I was going to wear today, but then I realized it's too warm for a sweater, and my purple shirts were both dirty. But I still wore the green tie.
