Went out to astoria for birthday celebrations, boo surprised me with some new kit

Brush: brand new birthday gift 20mm slivertip with a fun an funky pink laminated wood handle
Lather: birthday sample SW southern witchcrafts lycanthropy

new brush was delightful as were the southern witchcrafts items
it had been a while since I had used the slim and armed with the new knowledge that the higher numbers are more aggressive and the combo of new soap made for a great shave.
