Great lather this morning courtesy of the MrEE LE brush.

I complete two passes on the cheeks and three on the neck. I apparently had a set down error on the check in front of my right ear. Yes......we have a weeper. I did not even feel it but noticed some red stuff accumulating while working on the neck. It will be okay. As dad used to say......
It will grow back.

I hope everyone has a great day and weekend.

Great shave. The soap smells sweet, with a slight tartness as honey does. Great smelling soap. The via long is well a tangled mess. Lol i spent about 40 minutes trying to untangle this thing using conditioner a hair pick. Im not gonna lie, it lost alot of hairs and i was debating pulling my own hair out.
