    image.jpeg Razor: Gillette 85 Super Adjustable "Black Beauty” (p2) 1970 named “The Black Pearl”
    Brush: Stirling Synthetic 26/63 2015
    Mug: Van Der Hagen
    Cream: TOBS Grapefruit cream
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Jack Black balm, Halston Z-14 cologne

    A sinners shave today on Good Friday. Whipped up the TOBS in a minute with the Stirling. Nice slick cushion and I really like the scent. The heavy head on the "Pearl" gave me a nice smooth shave with no pressure with a Feather blade set on 5, WTG and XTG on my face and neck. Then ATG set on 3. Very smooth. The Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera felt good on my face and that natural scent was nice and fresh. After cleanup, I smoothed on some Jack Black, and then some Halston Z-14 cologne. Remembering the sacrifice Jesus made for us today. Amen.

    I have the aftershave milk in italian stallion, labelle du sud, cocoa maya, and the kraken. They are all amazing.

    They are great because they arent thick balms.

    It has a mild Noxzema-type of scent. I really like it and the feeling is heavenly. :)

    That's exactly the same Plissoft brush I bought from Italian Barber. Isn't it fantastic? :) It makes any soap or cream lather like there's no tomorrow!

    It is an amazing brush. It is by far my favorite synthetic brush right now. And the price was incredible. I feel gulity about using it twice this week. My other brushes are starting to get jealous.

    Kerry (I believe) told me that when I got this brush I'd have a hard time staying away from it. He was 1,000% right. My Turkish horsehair brush is just sitting there waiting for me to use it again!

    I'd have been happy with that aftershave while suffering through Washington, D.C. summers. (the Wintergreen)

    a question for the Ambassador about Stirlin'. How do they know what my "interests, preferences" are as a register...by what I keep looking at?
