Comments: A fine shave, with some products simple and known, but really able to give a good feeling. The Williams is a bit tricky in Navarra, maybe this puck misses the streets of New York were it was bought, it has required some work to give lather enough, but finally I have arrived to the end of the shaving road smoothly. A warm hug to the people in the US.

One pass wtg, then one xtg. Not bad, but applying the GIT over the shaving gel did not work out as I imagined; it did not moisturize the beard sufficiently. Too many nicks. So far, uberlather works better for me. So, on with the learning process. Any good stropping videos out there?

It's a sober day today, gentlemen, so savor being alive with your families! Tell them you love them.
