ROTY

My first time using a Taylor of Old Bond Street product. So soft. The scent was light and pleasent. I ended up using an entire sample of the stuff to hedge my bets lathering with the sock. I choose a Halloween sock that was thin hoping it would keep it from being able to absorb too much lather. Honestly I think the nubs in my Stirling silicone lather bowl saved my ass and I was still able to whip one up decent enough. A little pasty but I gave the sock a squeeze and some water dripped off into the bowl which after I agitated it In, it actually made a Purdy good lather. Just a one pass shave. Here's some pics as proof. I was going to use the brush but decided to go all the way with the socko. I miss mankind...
