    Seaforth has a good reputation. If I was inclined, then I would go for the Seaforth Spice and the Seaforth Lime.

    Today's shave. Very nice. Nice and smooth. 2 days growth. I decided to do a 2 pass straight shave today for the first time in a looooong time. I'm regaining my confidence so thought I would try again. Glad I did.

    Excellent shave and setup Ken. It's great to see you getting more comfortable with straight shaving.

    Based on what I've seen on YouTube shave videos, I believe you will love its performance.

    September 28 SOTA

    Good afternoon!

    GEM MMOC
    Daylogic for Men SE Blade (4th use)

    I just couldn't resist using my newly arrived Stirling Tsuka soap and aftershave. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't an exact copy of the Stirling TSD Blood on Steel LE 2019 because this soap has more of a masculine, woody scent instead of a fougere/cologne one. However, I still like this version so I don't have any buyer's remorse. This scent is laid back and not overpowering. Of course, it has the great typical Stirling performance. As you can see by the pic below: 20220928_170901.jpg

    I had enough lather that I did a 3 pass shave and a 4th lather non-shave pass. I was surprised because I haven't used this bowl in a very long time because I have to work a little harder to lather soaps due to the smooth insides of this bowl. However, the lather that I got was a better quality than previous ones with my porcelain bowl with bumps. Go figure. Lol!
    Did get a nice BBS shave without any errors or irritation. In fact, I didn't even open my wounds from yesterday’s shave.
    Did get an adequate amount of alum feedback and I think it's because I did a third pass when it truly was unnecessary.
    Finished with the witchhazel and the Tsuka aftershave. The Tsuka aftershave is almost identical and wasn't overpowering. I am happy with this shave. Enjoy your evening.

    SRS # 763

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Genco-Old Dutch 3/4”
    Brush: Epsilon Horse Hair
    Lather: Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
    Aftershave: Stirling Pharaoh Dreamsicle
    Additional Care:
    Humphreys Cucumber Melon Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm
    Stirling Pharaohs Dreamsicle EdT

    Perfect Stirling shave to keep my mind off of the events down by the Southern Den. The house lost power around 1:30 this afternoon. Hopefully it will be restored in the near rather than later future.

    The Pharaohs Dreamsicle is a great citrus forward scent. This soap was the first of many Stirling soaps to grace my den. Perfect refreshing shave to uplift the troubles of the day down south. Excellent close three pass shave. I am tempted to do a repeat performance tomorrow.

    Hope you are having a great day gentlemen. So thoughts and prayers to those in harms way of Ian today. Talk about a Beastmode of a Storm. Almost the same intensity as Joe, @Trigger, when he puts on his Silver Sneakers. :D
