New Lid for My Williams Mug

A gentleman on TOST3 made this lid for my Williams mug. He was doing a pif of many things, and I got in and chose this lid. He had not made it yet. I sent him dementions of my mug and he made it a custom fit.

I made this lid years ago.

Here is the new one.

This is my first shave with this soap. It was piffed to me by a fellow wet shaver in Hawaii. It is a great performer. This from Shannon's Soaps website describing the Indigo Oud Shave Soap.

Sultry and exotic, Indigo Oud starts with a spicy base of vanilla, sandalwood, and oud, adds warm leather, tobacco, and ambergris, and is topped off with lively black currant and bergamot. The end result will put you in a mood for far-off adventure or contemplative bliss, depending on your predisposition. Either way, you're in for a unique, third-eye-opening shaving experience.

Treet SE Razor with Baton Handle

 I got this razor from David in Hawaii. Thanks a bunch, David. I've been on the hunt for one of these, and this is a splendid example.

A Hawaiian Haul

Today, a package showed up on my doorstep from Hawaii. I was not expecting anything. This was a total surprise to me. I had made the White Rook shaving brush for David in Hawaii, and he sent me this generous haul. He knew that I was looking for a Treet SE razor, and he sent me a very nice specimen along with a bunch of treats from Hawaii.

From left to right: Mauna Loa Dry Roasted Macadamias, Seedless Li Hing Cherry treat, two boxes of Hawaiian Host Chocolates, red Baton Treet razor on top of top box, Rustbelt Reserve Indigo Oud Shaving Soap, Hawaiian Sun Guava Jelly, and Lion Hawaiian Coffee.

Thank you, David. What a wonderful surprise.
