    For some reason it's easier for me to get suds with the others I've been using.

    y'know, interesting you mention that. At times, I end up with not as much soap on my face, meaning the soap appears too watery, and I always fear the reason is I didn't shake off enough water from the brush.

    Its all about finding the sweet spot. Either start with less water and add a little at a time as you load. Or start with more water and let the suds fly, and keep loading till you get enough soap. Another reason could be that you just haven't worked the lather enough to get it to thicken up. You can get the lather as thick as spackle if you keep working it.

    Should be a little easier with the Stoylin and 66 pucks, but I'll try those ideas. Thanks. Course I'll add 2 more pucks before NB18 :).

    OCtober 13 SOTD:

    Stirling Synthetic Brush
    Stirling Sandalwood
    Phoenix DOC
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Stirling Sandalwood AS

    I was busy while on the road and am several days behind on the thread. It was a great shave this morning with some Sandalwood. Every time I use this razor, I wonder why I don't use it more often. It is an easy shaver. I hope everyone is having a great day!

    Thank you, Andrew! This scent is in my top 5 of scents. It is my wife's favorite, so that is a huge bonus! Throw in the typical great performance from Stirling, and it is hard to beat.

    My father had two hip replacements a couple years apart. The technology as improved, after the second surgery he was walking just a few hours after the surgery. After healing he was pain free and mobile again. Best of luck for you, I hope,you can be free of pain soon.

    I hope you're feeling better soon
