    40 hours.
    Tabac shaving cream, ASL and Lotion.
    Preshave using the bloom water from the Tabac.
    Muhle R89 with Gillette 7 o’clock (1)
    Nice safe combo, still one minor weeper underneath the chin: reason: going XTG (S-N) in the first pass. 3 passes with touch ups. Nice result. Super smooth and presentable again.

    I do find the Tabac shave soap is not as moisturizing as the MWF or the Stirling. Next time I will modify this a little …..

    Good morning!

    Decided to go for a mild razor and the RedTip was just the ticket. Selected the Stirlong Intrepid Man because I want to finish it and will be using it every day until I am finished with it. Here's my lather:

    Two passes without blood or irritation for a nice, close and comfortable shave.
    Some alum feedback was evident. Topped the shave with FA Platinum aftershave. Enjoy your day.

    Thank you Joe. The dumbo bowl continues to produce great lather. I guess you won't be replacing the Intrepid Man?

    No, I will not replace the Intrepid Man, nor Triumph or Executive Man. The scents were nice, but I wasn't wowed by them.

    Razor: Double Duck Goldedge
    Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts 26 mm Tuxedo
    Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra Kilix
    Aftershave: Los Jabones de Joserra Kilix
    Additional Care:
    Omega Alum
    Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
    Stirling Unscented Glacial Balm

    Ah! I am back to my normal routine and this shave reflects the fact. The DD Goldedge delivered a super smooth and close shave. My face is still silky smooth almost most 7 hours post shave.

    The Los Jabones de Joserra Kilix is a wonderful scent. The scent profile is as follows : “An elegant woody accord with notes of bergamot and cardamom on a floral heart of iris, heliotrope and violet. Resting on a base of cedar wood, sandalwood, amber, tonka, and a touch of oud.”
    The Dogwoods Handcraft synthetic whipped up a nice thick lather. The lather was nicely chilled in the iced brush scuttle. The application to the face was rewarding and refreshing.

    Hope you all are having a great day gentlemen.
