OK, am I the only one who doesn't get Brit's new "in the box" handle? Can someone explain it to those of us on the short bus?

I closed out this month in the "classic" way-another Clubman A.S. to follow Grandpa's Barbershop soap(Central Texas Soaps). The latter may not be too old yet, but he does make his barbershop soap the way Grandpa would like it.

Stirling Slant September/Menthol Monday

Good morning!

Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Silent alum.

Shave number thirty one and September is in the books. What a Stirling month it's been! At least one Stirling product was used with every shave and twenty eight of them had the matching soaps and splashes. All my SE's were used and half my slants, well I only have two slants so one of them got used.
Terrific month of shaves and a terrific month on the thread!

Have a great day!

Thank you Terry. This is my second OneBlade. If I had to keep just one razor, the OneBlade would be the one.

SEptember

Seaforth!~~Rubberset~~Dovo 91
Well, here we are. The end of another month and entering fall. Today will be 90˚F so some spiced Lime was chosen.
SE September has been mostly adhered to. I do occasionally fall off the wagon and pick up a DE,
however, straights were the order of the day and they mos def are SE's.
72 hours growth needed to be eliminated and the Dovo 91 was up to the task.
Scott has educated me on stropping, and I tried to go for a less taut strop.
Linen, CrOx and leather prepped the blade.
Seaforth! soap's appeal is probably its nostalgia. The soap isn't going to win any awards.
It's a nice, thick lather with enough slickness to keep the blade moving.
Where it drops the ball is post shave. Pretty dry. Not awful, but not up to today's standards.
The straight really shined removing so much growth. The blade easily passed the shave test as the first
WTG strokes on both cheeks, left my skin DFS+.
Subsequent passes smoothed everything out and while there are these pesky spots under my chin,
and these spots would fail the cotton ball test, I was left with a very close and comfortable shave.
The Seaforth! Spiced Lime did have a modicum of sting, but was refreshing in scent and feel.
Beginning tomorrow, it's a month of the Fat, so stay tuned.

Thanks Clint.
I find it to be a wonderful shaver.
The feathers work great in it, but I'm biased.

September 30 SOTD:

Razor: Ever-Ready 1914
Blade: Gem Stainless
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Lather: MWF
Aftershave: Chatillon Lux Gratiot League Square

It has been another great month, even with the other outside changes going on. I think I got every shave in with an SE razor this month, some of which was forced by circumstances outside of my control. Today, I went with some MWF as everything else has just about been packed. It was a nice shave and got me ready for a 2+ drive into the office as I was in Lumberton again this weekend. The movers come today to start packing, so this will be another busy week. But, after this week, we will not be shuffling back and forth between Houston and Lumberton, even if we aren't in our permanent house just yet. We are all looking forward to that. I hope everyone has a great day!

Great shave and photo Jim. Hang in there. Moving can be so stressful. I hope everything gets settled as quickly as possible.
