2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


Today was Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club day. Our soap this month is Woolly Wash Soapery's Night at the Pub. This is a maker from down under (rural Queensland) and to me, this soap is all about the soap base which is luxurious thanks to its sheep tallow base, butters, tussah silk and, in this one, beer.

The fragrance is a warm, sweet whisky with a little spice. WWS claims that the scent strength is medium, but for me it was mild. Perhaps that's due to working from a smush. It did not bother me, though, and I was still able to enjoy it. LumberJack Luxury has notes that complement Night at the Pub, so I finished the shave with that.

I was reminded of the MK โ„– 10 when I saw @djundjila use it on Sunday. Terrific razor. It always surprises me with its balance and how well it shaves.

Thanks to @snooting for providing the smush. This was a fun one. Merry Christmas eve!
