  1. SOTD July 12, 2019

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Personna lab blue
    Razor: Gillette Fatboy
    Brush: Omega 10049 boar
    Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

    Finally back on schedule for an actual Fat Friday shave on a Friday. Easy lathering, effortless whisker reduction with the Fatboy on 9, and a satisfying conclusion with American Blend. Great way to start the day.

    This week has been fast for me and like @clint64 I am glad it's Friday. Enjoy!

  2. Beautiful photo, Clint! Send a few of those storms back to the west. We're a little parched in these parts. @Hembree has been getting a lot of rain in the Tuscaloosa area but Birmingham metro isn't faring as well. My lawn needs some rain!

    Stirling Noir After Shave

    I normally skip a day shaving but for some reason I woke up this morning and wanted to shave. Went through the den and picked out some solid hitters.

    What can I say about this shave – AWESOMENESS. It was just a great shave with no weepers or nicks. Really liking the brush that Clint restored. It is a great little lather monster and is pretty to boot. Stirling soap….it is just good stuff and good stank!

    I finished up with some Nivea post balm and Stirling Noir aftershave.

    I had to slip on out the door before my wife woke up. I was smelling and feeling pretty. If she would have spotted me, I may have been late for work. :happy097:

    Y'all take care and have a great day!

  6. Great shave and picture, Clint. The granddogs are stressed by thunder and fireworks. This is a tough time of year for them.
    I hope your day goes smoothly and quickly.
    Terrific shave and picture, Perry! Glad to have you back for Fat Friday's!

  17. Wonderful photo and shave, Danny! Rod announced yesterday that Stirling Noir will be discontinued for a few years. The remaining stock is on sale right now. Same goes for Stirling Blu. Grab another set now if you need to!

    Thank you, Patrick!

    Thank you, Jim!

    Top notch photo, Jim! Wow.
