A late day shave after some exterior painting .. I hate to paint, but I loved the cleanup ...

Tried to keep it simple and cost sensitive tonight to remind myself that I don't need to spend a fortune to enjoy this hobby. I do have to admit going back to Williams after some of the things I've been using was a bit of a let down.

Pre-shave: homemade olive oil, castor oil, jojoba with sandalwood.
Scuttle: old school OS mug from Pop-pop.
Lather: Williams mug soap with a touch of glycerin.
Razor: vintage Schick injector.
Astringent: T. N. Dickinson's witch hazel.(can't seem to find Thayer's in my area)
Post-shave: Nivea ASB for sensitive skin.

In memory of my Great Grandfather who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War 1914-1918
My Grandad who served in Korea
To all the returned servicemen and women, and those who never made it home.
"Lest we forget"

Great shave with the Bengall, probably why they were Army issue, although the old "Diggers" would have got the plain black one.
