    Good morning guys! I just finished my shave! Today, I hit a major milestone! This was my 50th traditional straight razor shave. I am halfway home to the 100th SR finish line. As you know, it is my Friodur week for my vintage focus. I applied Stirling Sandalwood with my Rockwell synthetic. 2.5 passes with a weeper. I achieved an IBSS. This razor is really sharp so I need to be mindful. Lol! Finished with Modessa witch hazel and Stirling Sandalwood AS.
    Grade 94 = A
    Make it a great day fellas!

  3. Fantastic Shave Joe! I have discovered that straight up sandalwood isn't for me, but I really liked the Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood!

    Proraso PreShave (red)
    Gillette Slim Adjustable (9)
    Astra Premium
    Lather & Wood - Bay Rum

    Uneventful DFS. Slight burn all over, but it was a first use on an Astra SP blade.

  7. Thanks Andrew! What is it that you didn't like about Sandalwood? Why do you prefer the Vanilla Sandalwood?

  8. Thanks Jim. If I am on schedule, then I will hit my 100th straight razor shave this Sunday. It would be 46 shavette and 54 traditional straight razor shaves. My goal is to have 100 shaves for each.

  17. Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood and TOBS Sandalwood Cream were my first two real soaps/creams in 2014. As far as scent the AOS Sandalwood is the best smelling Sandalwood I’ve tried.
