    Very nice, Joe. I like the Piacenza as well. AdP clones are tricky. The RRXXX, imo, smells more like the original, but the Stirling is a better soap.

    Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    The end of another weekend that was entirely too short. At least I was able to get an excellent shave to start the work week. The SOC mixed knot whipped the Shiloh into a wonderful slick lather. I absolutely love this scent. I really need to get the ADP Colonia so I can appreciate the real thing. Three passes and touch ups ended in a drama free BBS shave. A splash of the matching aftershave and I am off to fight traffic. I hope everyone has a great Monday.

    jluc smelling pretty

    June 24th
    Razor: CJB
    Blade: Feather AC Pro (1)
    Brush: 30DCLEV2
    Pre-shave: Stirling Mentholated
    Soap: Stirling Blood on Steel
    PAA Galactic witch hazel
    PAA Star Jelly unscented
    AS: Stirling Blood on Steel

    Good morning!

    Terrific shave to start the day! Two tentative passes with the pain stick from @Keithmax. I could have called it CCS and walked away. The Wunderbar hadn't been put away yet so I went ahead and did a third pass with it. Still a couple of rough spots, back to the CJB for some touch up. You guessed it, I got myself on the chin. A tiny slice that stopped with a cold water rinse but there was Blood on Steel.

    Speaking of Blood on Steel, the Stirling was Stirling. A nice cologne scent that received approval from SWMBO.

    Have a great day! [​IMG]

    The soap looks good enough to research. And is your last name Richter? :)

    Thanks, Joseph! I only have RR Classic and the RRXX. I will have to try the XXX when I get finished with some pucks and that will be awhile.

    06/24/2019 – Focus Shave #12 for June

    RazoRock 400 Noir Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush
    Timeless Lather Bowl Scuttle
    Fine Accoutrements – Snake Bite
    Astra SP
    Gillette K1 1965 Super Speed / Flare Tip
    Univinlions (Kai Clone) with Feather Pro Blade
    Nivea Post Balm
    Pinuad Clubman Classic

    I brought out a birth razor today and I have to admit the little Flare Tip did an excellent job. I actually completed one pass on the cheeks and necks with the Univinlions.:happy088: Just took it nice and slow and I did not cut myself.:happy093: I finished the second pass and few touch ups with the Flare Tip.

    I cannot compliment the Fine soaps enough. Fine soaps are solid performers. Finished up with Nivea post balm and a splash of Clubman Classic.

    Great and hot day in Dixie! Hope everyone has a great day!

    Snake Bite appears to be the Fine soap of choice for TSD members(majority of us, anyway).

    Yes, that is quite true, Paul! The only thing I will not talk about is politics on this forum. I want to keep friendships and do not want to cause hurt feelings. I rather keep my mouth shut.

    Have you seen Chris Bailey's Fine ads on Youtube? I saw the one where he tests ALL the Fines and says the same thing at the end.of each brand."Fine.....get it".
