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.

Digging in the back of the drawer this week – Prairie Creations was an artisan soap maker back when I got into wetshaving as a hobby, who have sadly since closed shop. Walter was her tribute / recreation of the traditional Williams Mug Soap, and while the scent of my puck has mellowed since I bought it the performance has not.
