    Had a bid on the set I missed on the bay so breaking out my last Tonsorial puck. Have 1 other Vintage but this my last Tonsorial cake. :(

    Are the Tonsorial pucks different from the puck that I used?

    Probably the same. They were in rolls of 8 for Barbers and are simply marked Tonsorial.

    Oh......now I get it. :D Thanks!
    I've seen the Marvy soap pucks sold like that (I've never tried them though).

    A little tall for the wood bowl so trimmed it down and you can see the 2 sides.

    Sunday December 20, 2020
    Pass 1 & 2 Razor: F4 Gillette Fatboy
    Pass 3 Razor: Cooper Monobilt
    Blade: Wizamet (2)
    Brush: Stuart Timberwolf
    Soap: Tonsorial Williams
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Aqua Velva
    Fragrance: Azzaro Visit

    Had a Williams shave setup with the Fatboy and forgot I was to use the Cooper razor after the Bigelow & Parkin Travel razor as the head with hinge is similar. Had the CG come in on loan for a shave and threw me off. Picture was taken already so just threw the Cooper in for pass 3. The Williams just gives a slick lather that will rival even the best Elite Modern soaps and it has a scent that is hard to describe.................I guess the best way to describe it is........................Soap. That's the only reason I don't grab it as often as I should. Well that and I'm down to 2 vintage pucks. 3rd on it's way thru the USPS. Andrew @Droo78 gave me the nudge I needed to break out another puck after I had 3017 'd one not too long ago. Glad he did. Hope everyone has a great day !!!

    Excellent setup and photo, Dave!
    Vintage Williams makes a great unscented soap choice.
    It that a Skin Bracer hand decanter in the background?

    Yes, I have a right and left hand skin bracer hand bottle. One with aqua velva and one with Skin Bracer. Thanks

    Thank you, sir.
    Question for those that post here;
    Do you guys get a nice thick lather or do you just get a usable lather? Pretty sure you can see what I get from my pictures, but that kind of lather isn't for everyone.
