    I love the warm colors of the photo. Jason you've made every effort to make the soap work. I would consider just moving on to the next soap a day early.

    John congrats on the CH 2 Synthetic. I actually like the knot in my Ivory better than the LE. I have never tried the Simpson Shaving Cream but I think Mark @Boojum1 has.

    November 7 SOTD:

    Stirling Boar Brush
    Stirling Baker Street
    Schick Type J
    Stirling Unscented PSB
    Stirling Baker Street AS

    Two passes and very near BBS. If I had done just a bit of clean up, I would have caught it. As it is is, I will take the comfortable DFS. The Baker Street is a terrific scent, and is officially SWMBO approved. I hope everyone has a great day!

    Everything worked well together this morning and provided a wonderful relaxing shave. The big boar whipped up more than enough rich slick lather for 3 passes and touch ups. I ended up just missing the baby which is more than good enough for a work morning. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    SOTD November 7, 2017

    Prep: Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM 1912
    Brush: Surrey badger
    Lather: Stirling The Lounge
    Post: Witch hazel, Jeeves of Hudson Street Tobacco Bay Leaf aftershave
    WTG, touch up

    I really enjoy this combination of Stirling and Jeeves software. Both are high quality and lend themselves to a nice shave. The 1912 is an okay razor for me. I prefer the Pushbutton or Featherweight over the 1912, but any of them give a good shave. The 1912 is not quite as smooth as the others. In any event, all came together quite nicely.

    Have a great day!

    Gillette Silver Blue (3)
    Simpson Chubby 2 Super
    MdC - unscented
    Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, Fine L'Orange Noir aftershave, and Terre d’Hermès Parfum

    I had a pretty good shave this morning, though I hurried somewhat and had a couple of operator errors. The Soap Destoryer rewarded me with plentiful MdC lather. In addtion to the lather in the scuttle, I had a heavy coating on my face. (Yes, I'm thankful nobody saw me setting up the photo with a face full of lather. :p ) I used the "good stuff" at the request of my Bride, and she approved the layered scents with a score of 8 out of 10. :)

    Thumbs up on my first run with the GSB, discounting today's shave due to my mistakes. The next blade in my focus is the Astra SP.

    I hope you all have a great day.
