Another Mike-y shave in the middle of the week. One of the thing’s I like about Mike’s is how long the tubs lasts. This one I’ve had for… a decade? A little over a decade? Still retains the scent and still makes lovely lather.

A fast but fine Friday shave – my own fault for snoozing the alarm. Also marks the end of two weeks of using the vintage G4. Next week I’ll shave with the even older E2, before moving on to my pre-injector Schicks.

Not exactly midweek madness, more like a Wednesday wonder. A big, fluffy brush paired with the right soap means big, fluffy lather. And that means a big, fluffy shave.
