This is the first Stirling scent out of 10 or so I tried, that I really have an issue with. It just isn’t for me. I have the soap and AS from a Black Friday deal, but just got around to it today. Most likely I’ll try selling/trading them or PIF. I also picked up Stirling One on sale, but it’s pretty much in the same boat. Don't see it staying around. Chiseled Face is pretty high on rotation. I’m a big fan of all of their products, especially the after shaves.

I stumbled upon HERC when this was coming back, and the excitement about it convinced me it was a must try, shoulda bought the aftershave with it, will next round for sure.
SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: pre shave soap mix Razor: Wilkinson Sword Classic Blade: Pol-Silver Brush: Razorock Plissoft Soap: Meissner Tremonia- Black Beer #1 Paste Post: Big Easy- Roof Of The World A/S Have used several MT products in the past and was a bit unsure weather i like them or not so figured i would give them another shot. Glad i did. They are a artisan from Germany Their Paste comes in a heavy 6.8fl oz. glass jar with a sturdy lid. The soap has some interesting ingredients such as Red Clay and babasu oil plus some organic ingredients. Ingredients are: Water, Steric Acid, coconut Oil, beer, glycerin, potassium hydroxide, babassu oil, rosemary oil, sodium hydroxide, talc, red clay, macadamia nut oil, lemongrass oil, citric acid, jojoba oil, sea salt, citral, citronellol, engenol, geraniol, limonene, lonalool. The scent of Black Beer #1 contains Rosemary, Lemongrass and other notes. To my nose i do pick up the herbal Lemongrass vibe but it is quite complex. Even though im not a huge lemongrass fan this was one of the better MT scents IMO (along with Strong & Scottish & Dark Limes) and is somewhat unique in the Wet Shaving world. My experience with MT soaps & pastes have been a bit unusual. It starts off a bit bubbly and airy which is something i dont really care for personally, plus has a red tint to start with although this lather was not bad at all. Takes some time to get the consistancy right but the lather did not break down and did provide decent protection. Not the closest shave in history but no complaints. Finished off with Big Easy Roof Of The World which smells great IMO and even changes a bit over time. HOPE EVERYONE HAD A SWELL SHAVE AND A SAFE WEEKEND!

Arko Adjustable April April 13 Razor - 1962 (H1) Gillette Slim (9) Blade - (1) Soap - Arko Brush - Jayaruh #46 Post - Alum Moving on through the adjustables in my den brings us to the Slim. This was my first adjustable and is a fine razor. I'm not sure why Slims didn't find as much favor as Fatboys other than size. They shave nearly exactly the same once you learn to adjust to the slightly different head geometry. I've heard they're easier to use under your nose as well, but have no personal experience with that due to my goatee. I chose the Ladas blade to pair with the razor. This is my favorite of the Russian Super Stainless, just a hair ahead of the Rapira pink and the St. Pete's Nacet. Arko, of course, and the JR46 - my first Jayaruh brush. I shaved after Game of Thrones just to make sure I had some solid steel in my hand should the White Walkers show up at my door. My den remained safe and secure, so I just went with a three pass BBS finish with absolutely no effort or problems. Clearly my night was smoother than the night in Westeros. Have a great Monday!
