    I really like this brush. The knot is set at a depth that makes it very compact with excellent scrub and soft tips. All of this adds to the experience when face lathering. I did stay with a 3 pass shave but went with XTG, ATG and XTG passes skipping the WTG pass. This change up really got my jawline and neck super smooth. Overall just a fantastic shave this morning. Feeling better likely had a lot to do with the results but I think Gem blades work better after the first outing. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    If you like earning lots of miles in budget hotels and airlines, and want to get away from your family and work long hours for low pay, I may have a job for you, Neal.

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

    Top notch shave this morning on a Tobacco Tuesday. Stirling's The Lounge is a terrific soap - like all Stirling - and the lather was optimal. The Featherweight behaved well and a nice finish from the Jeeves splash finished everything out in fine style. Superb all around.

    Great photos and shaves as usual from the crew! Hope everyone has a great day!

    Clearly, you have the right mindset for our sales team.

    Judgement, not so much. I told you to epoxy a twig to that thing!

    Right you are, Charlie. It's one of the many fabulous perks of the job. Little known fact - these make great shaving soap dares for Mayhem.
