Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Black Anvil/26mm Maseto Finest
Soap: Tabula Rasa Light Cream
Razor: ER 1912
Blade: Gem SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Tuff Red AS

First use of this soap and it whips up very easy into a nice slick cushiony lather.
The smell is like a moisturiser/face cream although I find the post shave good but not great.
The 1912 on the other hand is great.
I think of it as the Velvet Underground & Nico of the SE world - Incredibly influential yet often overlooked:

Happy Shaving!

 

Thank you, sir.

Great Menthol Monday shave. Smooth and comfortable. Enjoy your day!

 

More than a catbird hates a cat or a criminal hates a clue that's how much I love my Stirling stuff. It's been almost a week since I had a good freeze and it felt so good to use my Glacial Black Cherry soap, Glacial Unscented balm, and the Arctique aftershave splash. BBS, and my skin never looked or felt better!

Have a great day!

2/12/2018 - Last Night's Shave..

PRORASO RED - SANDLEWOOD GLORY - This is the scent of Sandlewood for me and started me on this shaving mania... AOS Sandlewood/FINE absolut santal are also good but Proraso wins.

Peace, Jamie ............

 

Cool! cuz - for my modern williams mug i shave down 1.5 pucks and than fit it in with 1.5 full pucks - so i have 3 total pucks pressed inside my Coffee mug for williams - for 99 cents a puck at my Market Basket it is GREAT having that much soap in the mug - also the brush at 1st does NOT need to be long handle and i think the Williams soap gets "happier" the more we dig in to the mug

 

Thank you Doug.

Menthol Mundane!

Broke out my RR Disruptor this morning. This beast holds enough lather to shave 1/2 a platoon. And no, there wasn't a stiff breeze when I snapped the pic. It's the way the knot is mutating. Some call it a "Detroit Lean"
