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.
