I'm traveling. I used @sgrdddy@sub.wetshaving.social's Slurry Lather™ for a quick shave. I used slightly less water to make less mess, and that was just fine. A better-than DFS shave is my result.

Two months ago, I thought that this place would be the home of the GUTL™, but it's become the home of the Slurry Lather™ 🤷‍♂️

Hah! Yeah. Go figure :)
