    I have no idea what a stoylin refill is.
    I bought a 4.5 ounce refill Puck from Stirling I then placed it in my empty fine Accoutrements bowl.
    It dropped in pretty easy except the width was a bit wide, all I had to do was mash it down and it fit perfectly.

    I am late posting today because I go to the senior center every tuesday to play guitar for the seniors with several friends. On top of it all, I fell on the stairs this morning thinking I was at the bottom when I had one more step! I sprained my ankle pretty good. Day for doing nothing.

    Razor - Early Gillette open comb
    Black - Treet fresh blade
    Pree-shave - Proraso Red
    Soap - Chiseled Face "Sherlock"
    Post-shave - Thayers Toner & Geo F Trumper Skinfood
    AS - Chiseled Face "Sherlock"

    Pleasant shave. Showered last night after working on wood so, I warmed my face with HOT washcloth while I warmed the scupper mug. Pleasant shaver! 2-pass shave WTG & ATG. No cuts, nicks, or weepers. Alum bar was silent. Now, I am sitting with my foot wrapped and elevated.

    I read too fast so, at first I thought you said something about sandpaper in the shower. (OUCH!) LOL

    Was it wet/dry paper?

    Nice SR, Gary. They have an impressive blade-feel.

    Nice blade feel but, still gentle compared to some of my other open comb razors. Once you have the proper technique, these are some of the nicest shavers I have!

    Fine Fresh Vetiver~~Semogue 2012 SE~~British Red Tip/Spoiler~~Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
    I might start commenting more about my shaves here; realizing, naturally, this is primarily a "Shave Photo" thread.
    Please indulge your "Primo" :signs001:
    This is the third shave on this Spoiler and it was as rough as the first two. Blade binned. It should be noted, that I have
    used a single spoiler for 30 shaves. They surpass the Personna 74's and Wilkinson Light Brigades easily.
    Must've been a clunker; first one ever.
    The Fine soap, in hind sight, was one of THE best tallow soaps on the market. They should have charged a lot more and
    sold it in a classy jar. It's that good.
    The Semogue continues to break-in, although it has been my experience, Semogue Misturas take twice as long as a typical boar.
    I mentioned that this brush has its fair-share of black bristles---which will never split.
    I have been known to cut them at the base of the knot. It's a tedious process, but makes a huge improvement.
    More later...must decide...must find time...
    The British Red Tip has a larger gap than its American cousin. They also appear to have a more "purple-ish", painted tip.
    Nice razor and increasingly difficult to find in this original condition.
    Finished the rough shave (yes, more weepers on the neck) with some witch hazel
    and Bulldog unscented/sensitive ASB. Nice product.
    Finally, some of TF's Grey Vetiver EdP.
