Nice shave yet again with Stirling Ozark Mountain and the G1 injector. Smooth and comfortable. I'm trying to use up this Stirling sample so I can move on to other den goodies, but it looks like I have a good many more shaves with it. Stirling samples are generous!

Have a great Monday!

Hello TSD - I had a black-and-white-shave today



- Mystic Water Soap "Orange Spice Tea"
- The Tuxedo
- RazoRock Black Hawk
- Feather Professional
- Alverde ASB

Really nice and smooth shave ... though I think the blade is pretty much past its prime. Second pass has been a little tuggy. I'm not sure how many shaves I got from the blade ... about a dozen, I think. Time to replace it with a new one.

Soap is fantastic, as usual. Never had a bad shave with a Mystic Water Soap. The scent is rather light but very pleasant - to my nose it smells more Bay-Rum-like than the actual MW Bay Rum soap itself.

 

Fantastic setup. I like the color layers of the brush handle

 

Prep: Hot shower
Coffee: Maxwell House Breakfast Roast, BLACK
Tunes: Pandora Shuffle
Soap: RazoRock Sandalwood
Brush: gssixgun 22mm best badger set in elk antler
Razor: Aristocrat
Blade: Gillette Blue Silver, 3 passes, day 1

'Stache Oil: Dirigo Blue 'Stache Stuff
'Stache Wax: Dirigo Blue

Excellent shave.

 

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Weber ARC
Blade – Gillette Silver Blue
Brush - New Forest Tubby 1 Finest
Soap – Maggard's - Tobacco & Leather
Post - Witch Hazel, Trevarno Revitalising Face Oil

A wonderfully smooth shave with the Weber ARC/Gillette Silver Blue (2nd use), and the Maggard's - Tobacco & Leather was faultless, but then again, it is made by Through the Fire Fine Craft, another soap that I have stellar results with...

MM again, this shave was a good one. Optimal lather, cool and slick. Three passes with the exec, smooth and comfy. Finished with the iced ice blue. Id be content to make this a monday regular.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Thanks for the kind words. Have a good week!

 

Beautiful photo and setup Guy!

Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol

Started with the Rainbow blade in the Parker but the first stroke told me to change the blade so I grabbed a GSB and proceeded to have a wonderful Monday shave. I also find it amazing that the CO Bigelow SC never, ever fails to give a great lather and help in any combo I try. I could use it exclusively but I'm not. To many other nice products to try. Anyway, I'm ready to go do the "honey-do" list. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Have a great week!

 

Spicy Menthol Monday
Ginger's Garden Argan creams are legit. I got very thick and slick lather with plenty of residual slickness for a superb shave. I also love this scent. The aftershave is cooling and very moisturizing.
