    OCtober with the FAT

    October 17

    Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade - CVS Carbon Steel SE (2)
    Soap - Stirling Electric Sheep small stupid sheep.jpg
    Brush -The Canuck
    Post - Alum

    Back to shaving tonight and let me tell you - if you ever had a cold, bronchitis or anything else that has you a bit congested, may I suggest using tonight's soap! The Electric Sheep had me doubled over hacking up the remains of the bronchial debris I've been harboring. That menthol/citronella/eucalyptus is some POWERFUL stuff!! It's also great to shave with and the mutton tallow can't be beat!! It did take me a minute to get my coughing under control and after that I just breathed through my nose for the shave. Good stuff! Didn't know it was medicinal too!!

    The OCMM and carbon blade did a fantastic job on two days growth. Three passes and it was all gone for good. The Canuck brush with the flat top SynBad was awesome as well. I feel more like myself now and I'm ready to move on to Friday! Hope you have a great one!!

    Great shave, Neil!
    Not really a ringing endorsement for Electric Sheep but you've piqued my curiosity. I'll add a sample to my next Stirling order

    Razor..MMOC
    Blade ..Gem SS(new)
    Soap...The Copper Hat , Island Hopper scent
    Brush..The Black Pearl w/ synth knot by 9nein9
    AS .....Nivea Balm

    Havent used this soap in awhile . Bought 3 different scented sample pucks when I first got into wet shaving and this is the last one left. Artesian soap made in Victoria,British Columbia , Canada by a husband and wife team whom both are wet shavers. Great quality soap that lathers easily, nice cushion and glide , this one has a light floral scent reminicent of the wild moss and meadow flowers of Vancouver Island. Heres a link if anyones interested.

    Awesome pic and write up, Neal. Nice Canuck brush...speaking of Canucks, my beloved Canucks were in St Louis playing your Blues tonight. Any idea how it ended up? :happy108:

    Yeah. I suppose you could call it that. A little plug for these guys . Small setup with excellent friendly service . When you call, one of the owners answer and you just dont see that kind of service often enough anymore . I've gotten that with Rod at Stirling also. Seems people into wet shaving themselves understand the wetshaving client alot better in my opinion.
