I decided to go old school this morning. The Williams Mug soap was one of the first soaps I used along with the Old Spice puck when I started my wet shaving journey as a teenage in the mid ‘70’s.
AS a young kid, I marveled at how my paternal grandfather would whip up a nice lather with his boar brush. Being intrigued, I gravitated to this form of shaving.
While attending college, I did not take my wet shaving paraphernalia with. E. I settled for the more modern software and hardware. The software would include Barbersol, Noxema and Edge to name a few. The hardware included the Mach II, Wilkerson Bonded and a few cartridge razors.
In the mid 90’s I gathered my senses and began wet shaving once again. Of course I still had some back modern software to dabble in. Around that time I picked up the Merkur 37c and in 2020 my first straight.
Fast forward to the Fall of 2017 when I came across a few shaving forums on Google + and FB. I manageD to join TSD in the Summer of 2019, however, I did not become active until this past May When Jeff,
@jgreenepa, reaches out to me and encouraged my participation in this fine group. Jeff had been aware of my enjoyment of this hobby on another FB site, The Shave Bowl a d ECWS. Thank you Jeff.
I enjoy the genuine sincerity and passion of this group.
Oh yeah I had a nice shave this morning. The Williams did tend to leave my face a little dry but the Stirling balm took care of that issue.
