SOS: January 2019

Howdy!

My Sunday freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/7AM day 3
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Eau Sauvage EdT

Hey, who left the MITA in the freezer overnight? Lollllll

What a wonderful shave this was - all it took to get me BBS were two passes. For those who aren’t familiar with these Stirling soaps, there are two MITA versions. The original, which is around a 7.5/10 on my personal Menthol Scale and the Glacial, which has three times as much menthol so it’s easily a 10/10. Both versions have the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent and the same great lather as well as that typical brilliant Stirling skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Rubby Dubby Doo kept that freeze going - in fact I can still feel a cool tingle an hour after my shave!

Have a great Sunday!

 

Where did you pick up that Nivea ASL?

 

Today's shave was great! Simple tools, wonderful outcome. I keep trying to spread the gospel of technique over tools.
This ain't rocket science guys, just simple shaving.

It had been said about the Gent's Gin, that it is best used in the warm weather. I have found, though, that it's manageable in the cold weather too.

Good looking razor.

 

Thanks so much Doug!

I wish you a great week as well!

 

Stunning razor and case Jim. The brush is a beauty also.

 

What a great shave you had, my friend!

Love that picture too!

 

Great picture Jim. Did you plan on the lightening to turn out that way, or did it just happen. No matter what, it works.

 

Thank you so much my friend. I hope you have a great Sunday and week.

 

Excellent setup and photograph.
