SEptember is a Stirling month!

September 2 (Time warping again here people - it's my newest hobby)

Razor - Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf
Blade - CVS Carbon SE
Soap - Stirling
Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
Finish - Alum

Well I thought I'd get posted up before midnight. I'm close. So close. Another fairly long day though this one didn't start until 11 a.m. Ended about an hour ago. Good day, though, and I decided to end it a bit better than the bloody spectacle last night. How does one solve a new razor? Simple. One RULES with it. Now, I'm not going to do 30 days with it just yet anyway, but I'll do a solid 5 to get the feel. Since it's similar to the OCMM it may fall into place within that time.

I chose the Sheep tonight for its extra luxurious and protective slickness. Scent is secondary. I need some SLICK stuff. The big Stirling brush provided more than enough. I did two passes and neck touch ups to a near-BBS and that was just fine. I made sure to let the weight of the razor do all the work. I held it so loosely it was almost slipping out of my hands a few times. Just let gravity do its thing. The alum was still warm in places but the finish, while very close to the baby, was also blood free and not as hot as last night. Progress!

The blade feels nice and smooth after two shaves and I'm thinking I can get 5 shaves out of it. Definitely going to try. My Treets should be in later this week. Hope your Monday starts your week off in a fantastically wonderful and successful manner!

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The TSD Cool Lime Shave Soap face lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom. I did two passes with the Schick Golden 500 Razor with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Started with the Baili and have to say, for me, it sucks. Very harsh and I just don't like it.. Picked up the E3 and proceeded to get a fine shave. All is well. Now go enjoy your day folks.

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: pre shave soap mix
Razor: Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Blade: Wilkinson Sword
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Synthetic
Soap: CL/DG YRP
Post: CL YRP Aftershave


Nice refreshing shave this morning. YRP is perfect for this hot weather we are having today, clean floral citrus sounds great and couldnt decide between this or Mayflower (since its been in the queue for a while). Whipped up a abundant amount of lather in the copper bowl with just a small dab of product. Managed a very close BBS shave with even the problem areas smooth. Hope everyone had a great shave!

It's a hobby for him. He only PIFs them on Facebook

A great shave, but I prefer the duck formula.
