Getting the rust off
My technique is getting better. I had no school today, so I was able to take my time. I did not cut my face this time, but I did manage to cut my fingertip!

Beautiful Toggle Guy.

 

for several months - I think they only released the small splash and the refill puck size - the Soap is AMAZING and strong scented (more scent than clubguy) the splash is rather week - and not necessary, just get the real clubman after shave - but the Stirling clubman soap is GREAT.. def. deservers a re-issue -- onl;y had 3 shaves - so the soap will last me forever

 

awesome shave brutha

 

Thanks Doug!

Read what @Linuxguile wrote up. I 2nd those exact same thoughts. Just a marvelous shave with the .84 base plate. Welcome to the Big Leagues RazoRock. Have a great evening and great shaves Gents... ​

 

Very fitting for Old Spice. Anyone who doesn't like Old Spice has no soul. It's a forever integral part of my shaving and fragrance collection.

 

I feel the same way about Old Spice Tim.

Smell of this soap was a gateway into this madness, have since discovered better lathering, slicker soaps, but still enjoy the scent of this one.

Cool. Being in the Detroit area, we have many Canadian connections. Don't worry about the Sandalwood, I know how things can get - I'm in Allentown now and have about a 12 hr drive to get back home tomorrow! It will be a long day in the car.
Peace

I love the Clubman AS, to me it is an easy favorite and an amazing classic. I have to keep my open for the Stirling soap.

Thanks brutha. It was a tough night with a lot of reflection at my buddy's funeral. My shave this morning helped me relax and prepare for tonight. I discovered with Planet 9 that Neroli is one of my favorites.

SEptember is a Stirling month!

September 19 - Let's do the time warp again!!!!

Razor - 1912 Gem
Blade - (6)
Soap - Stirling Gatlinburg
Brush - Stirling Pro Style Synthetic
Finish - Alum

It's the midnight hour once again, and once again I'm on the wrong side of it. GrubHub night again tonight, though it was my worst yet. Actually the first bad one I've had so I can't complain. Still like doing it even if it does force time into another dimension. Where Rod Serling may eventually pop out.

I kept the Treet Super blade in play for shave number six. It's still as smooth and seems as sharp as day one. Another three pass shave to a BBS finish. It just isn't weakening at all. Love, love, love it! I used the Sterling Gatlinberg. Last night's foray into the world of the Ben Franklin proved to me again that I really don't care for that scent. Gatlinburg has been on the fence as well, though I've always had a bit of fondness for it. Tonight I felt like it was a scent I could stick with, though, as I picked up the cedar and sage especially. This one may eventually get picked up in a full tub. Ben Franklin, not so much.

Day off tomorrow and my new Chromebook arrives tomorrow as well. I went ahead and took the plunge on it. The mighty Dell will again be put into backup mode and I'll do some digging into the source of the network adapter problems on it while it's not hauling the full load. I'm choosing to abandon Windows for the most part by getting the Chromebook. I already do nearly everything online or through websites anyway, plus I've picked up some good tips on apps and programs for Chrome that should outperform the Windows stuff I've always used. We'll see how it goes. It was also an inexpensive option so if I hate it I can always switch back without losing my shirt. Also, it's a 14" model, very portable, so I can carry it with me and keep up with the world better than on my tablet by itself. Might even mean I can keep up here a bit better too!

Have a wonderful Thursday - since it's already here!
