    I only use Glycerine as an additive to certain aftershave splashes. I recommend it that way.
    Personally, I never really view soap use this way. Any measurement of soap is, imho, just a reason to limit usage. I load the heck out of everything- triple milled puck, artisan soap, croaps, etc and do so unapologetically. I always get functional lathers and in effect remove 'not enough product' as a potential issue inherently.

    Didn't have time to shave in the morning, when i got home i decided to take a hot shower and did a two pass shave after that. Results were even better than yesterday, just a little bit of irritation around a mole, did probably too much touch ups there.
    I hope everyone is doing well

    Thanks, Jason!
    You're right, the Maseto doesn't make it out very often. No good reason why as it's a wonderful brush. I won't typically reach for it when using the scuttle as the bowl is deep and the brush handle is short.

    SOTD Stirling SEptember 18th
    [​IMG]

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    RazoRock ECO
    Crown Super Stainless ½ (2)
    DS Cosmetics Purple Haze (26mm, Frigate Class)
    Stirling Noir soap and PSB

    Second shave with the ECO, really liking it's ability to shave at a super narrow angle. I still get the impression that the blade wants to catch and skip on the first pass unless I use a really fast stroke. I'm not sure if it's the blade or the lightness of the razor. I was planning on switching to a different razor next shave but I think I'll give this one another go and do some experimenting. I'll probably try the crown blade with a heavier SS handle as well as try a top tier sharp blade with the aluminum handle and just see how it feels. Have a great day my friends.

    Hump day!

    I know! Mom still won't let go take him for a haircut. I may have to end up sneaking him to the barbershop and dealing with the consequences when I get home.

    Sounds to me like she needs a little girl. You need to start working on that.

    Another overnight shipment from the Shave Shop. That and my new bowl are waiting in the mailbox. About seven hours to go before I get home.
