    Stirling Bonaparte~~Simpson Emperor 3~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed~~Wilkinson Chromium
    Tuesdays are my usual empire-expansion day, so what better products to choose than Stirling Bonaparte?
    And...what better choice of brushes than my Simpson Emperor 3?
    You may recall that the Stirling products were a generous gift from @Linuxguile
    Apparently, in addition to his inability to lather MWF, his olfactory senses cannot tolerate the Bonaparte.

    :scared003: Sorry, Andrew. :scared003:
    Well not only can I lather MWF, I really enjoy this polarizing scent.
    Laid down a luscious layer of lovely lather and my 1947 Super-Speed worked better than a huge application of Nair. :p
    Three passes and the baby is in the house.
    And...this Emperor is ready to conquer the world!    ​

    Very cool Perry. Curious to hear what you thought was the best SV scent.

    I smelled Felce Aromatica, Dolomiti, and another one (Alpine or alpeena). The Felce scent was the best of those three.

    Good evening, guys!
    Shavette shave #116
    Dovo Shavette
    Polsilver Iridium DE 1/2 blade (1)
    Semogue OC Badger Brush
    Stirling Frankincense & Myrrh SS and AS
    Nivea ASB not pictured
    My Semogue brush whipped up a nice lather to prepare my 35 hr stubble. This is the first time that I am using this soap and I have to say this is a nice, clean and fresh scent. However, it doesn't linger during the shave. The soap performance was as expected for Sterling. Did 2 passes with a minor touchup on my right neck for a BBS, irritation free shave. Alas, I got a tiny weep on my left lower corner by my mouth and a tiny weep on my moustache area while doing a fool's pass. I expected to get a weep because this is a brand new blade. Finished with the matching aftershave and the Nivea. Using my trusty Dovo shavette, I am very pleased with this shave. Have a great evening, guys! 20191217_162342.jpg 20191217_162342.jpg

    I see you as Maestro who brings beautiful music to the world. The honorific of emperor suggests a person who is tyrannical, therefore, I can't ascribe it to such a man like you.

    IMG_4385.jpg Yup, one of those days...shave early this morning, first chance to check in near the end of the day. Looks like a long one, but all positive stuff.
    3 passes this morning left me quite smooth. Everything worked as it should, which is a good thing with this gear. Hopefully I'll have a chance to get caught up on all the happenings on here later tonight.
    Have a great evening all!
