After hearing the horror stories of how bad Williams Mug Soap are, I was surprised it worked just fine. Not something that will move to the top of my rotation, but a usable soap for sure!

Welcome to the SOTD, and lovely Le Grelot!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK32

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/Kanayama Cordovan

Soap: Cella

After shave: Str8fencer's Florida Water

Results: Late shave, and even later posting today Nonetheless a splendid DFS+ shave, Cella + Heljestrand equals almost guaranteed success, and the Florida Water leaves a nice and fresh reminder of summer in the snowy cold. (And of course a shot of good old Jack helps too )
