​

Been face lathering for no real reason
recently. Just a change of pace, I guess.

But today I dusted off my
Captain's Choice heavy copper
bowl in support of our vendors.

Whipped up some great lather
that yielded one helluva shave.

The alum had a bit of a bite, but
nothing objectionable. CeraVe
soothed the way to a perfect finish.

I'm one happy camper in need
of a haircut--but otherwise
well groomed.

Stay healthy,

Bill​

Aftershaves Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic Witchhazel & Splash
A very nice scent from this soap. Distinct pineapples and bananas...quite sweet and stout too. The lather was great...creamy and slick!
A great shave with the razor paired with the blade. Somehow this blade makes a huge difference. I did put it through some palm stropping from the 1st use onwards. Today it was crisply sharp but very smooth and comfortable in 3passes was able to get a dolphin smooth finish....never before with this razor. The aftershaves were terrific too!
