Unfortunately, Mickey Lee Soapworks is no more, and his wonderful The Drunken Goat is no longer available. But stout-hearted men can still avail themselves of Mystic Water Oatmeal Stout shaving soap, much along the same lines as the Guinness stout used in this soap.
My Whipped Dog silvertip easily made a fine lather, and with Maggard Razor’s V2 open comb, mounted here on one of their stainless handles, I easily and comfortably cleaned off the stubble. (This razor’s head seems to be a clone of the Parker 24C/26C, and a fine head it is.)
A splash of The Drunken Goat aftershave with a couple of squirts of Grooming Dept Hydrating Gel left me ready for a fine Friday.
The tea this morning is Mark T. Wendell’s Hu-kwa Tea: “a uniquely crafted black tea from the island of Formosa and considered by many tea connoisseurs to be the benchmark against which all other Lapsang Souchong style teas are measured.”
