You Sir, have an incredible knack for posting calendar worthy photos on a daily basis! Very well done.........again.
I was motivated to follow suit, except with a Game Changer and Phoenix Green Ray. The soap is incredible. I did three passes just because I didn’t want to quit! The splash needs to be treated as a cologne..........a 100ml bottle will stretch.
Stirling, single edge Straight, Spuming September. Proraso menthol pre-shave Stirling - Triumph SS Omega 10098 boar Fine Accoutrements shave bowl Dovo 91 Sunday Shaver Cocobolo Proraso menthol after shave balm Stirling - Triumph AS This is only maybe the 2nd time of missing 3 days since I took up wetshaving...... I hang my head in shame..... The recovery was one of those shaves that reminds you WHY you do this. The Stirling - Triumph is a dupe of Paco Rabanne Invictus. A limited edition set. The Mighty Blue Ming was on hand with his magical soap wizardry. As clearly displayed we have wet suds that clearly are beyond spume forth. At least spume 5th or 6th. One look at the volume of super suds generated and seasoned bloomaphobes are tearing their clothes and throwing dirt in the air. The children and grandchildren of dry soapers are trembling with fear....... Yea, anyhow...... nice lather! This was only my second use of this particular edge forward shaving device since it came back from 30k Shapton School. Performance on a 3 day usually yields a little first pass tug.......not so here. I use my other Sunday Shaver as a baseline comparison to all open edge shavers. This one is now 'edgy sharp' cuts more easily, but not as smooth. I'm sure it'll smooth out a little in time, still... excellent. Went unusually light on the Triumph AS, cause it has a final that I'm personally not big on (probably patchouli). Still, I had to come back for a GlacialLemon Chill Overcoat. Probably give it one more shot, only after a healthy citrusy something. Hope y'alls weekend is good Shave on!

Thx. Not really that hard. I do have other stuff...... I just don't know why. I think most that committed, did well too.
I was faithful to the Stirling September also. There’s NOTHING to wish for with Stirling performance, so it’s really just a matter of what scent I’m in the mood for. I have enough soaps that I always find a scent that fits the day’s mood. It’s only due to a curiosity that I ever venture away from the Stirling brand. And even then, I’m usually most curious about a Stirling scent I don’t own yet. I finally bought a bamboo five tiered shelf to organize my soaps and splashes in a proper fashion.
I'll finish the month with thirty one shaves. A Stirling product was used on every one of them. Twenty eight included a Stirling soap with the matching splash. Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk
Stirling, Single Edge, Slim Al Shavette, Spirit of St Louis brush , last Sunday in September Stirling Deep Blue Sea SS TSD Memorial 2019 Spirit of St Louis Deluxe Custom Limited Edition Flattop brush Focus Slim Al Shavette Gillette Silver Blue on 3 Stirling Deep Blue Sea AS Yesterday's shave almost let me slide today, but I have turned from my wicked non-shaving ways. Went for the Deep Blue Sea and my Blue shavette with Gillette Silver Blue locked and loaded. When the Exalted Blue Ming saw my setup, he ran off for his partner the Deep Blue Ming. Between those two, that soap, and that brush, the dry soapers could only cower. I'm not sure what knot Jason@jtspartan used, but the soft floppiness surprised me some. No worries, I wanted one of Jason's brushes, it looks cool, and I think it generates a more finely aerated suds. The length is just perfect if you have one of those deep blue shaving bowls. And there is just never a problem the Exalted Blue Ming can't handle. Certainly clocking a spume 6th rating for today. Great shavette shave as usual, close, easy, comfortable. Good follow up to yesterday's edgy sharp straight. Very, very light tool.....some will not like that feature. A very small footprint, makes it easy in the nooks and crannies. Just be careful, if you go in too steep you get a blade binkie. Similar blade loading mechanism to the Focus R48, but much less hassle. I only have a working inventory of 2 blade types anymore, the GSB for shavettes, and Feathers for everything else. The GSB told me the time is up after today.. Usually go 4 shaves, but this one is screaming for the deep blue blade bin. That reminds me, time for fresh Feathers in the pair of Focus Dynamic R48 razors too. Finished up with the Stirling Deep Blue Sea AS. This flavor has really grown on me and now makes the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks. It'll be a restock item. Enjoy your shaves folks and have a super week.
