Excellent Stirling shave Chris

 

Thank you Joe

 

Excellent shave Joe. Again thanks for the soap. As I previously mentioned, it has a mild barbershop scent and it does produce a nice lather. I dislike dreary Long Island days.

 

Very nice shave Myles.

 

Thank you and your welcome

Nice shave Gary. That's a nice-looking auto. I am sure that you will have that car running smoothly.

 

thank you Joe.it's been in the family since near new.my dad got it around 1990.it's a 1983 240 turbo,with factory intercooler and turbo + kit.originally an automatic,i got it around 2011ish with over 500,00 miles on it and converted it to a stick,new engine,rebuilt all the suspension etc,lots of big bars,braces,bilstien shocks,lowered springs etc..with a few horsepower tweaks it's a sinister sleeper.,lots of fun to drive in the city..mind you,it's quite outdated by today's standards.even lawnmowers do 120 these days..

 

I knew it was an antique and figured that you did a lot of work on it.

Good evening.

Straight Razor Shave #463
6/8 Ralf Aust
Omega Pro 49 Boar Btush
Cella SS
Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 25.5 hrs



I went for one of my Aust straights that I previously used because I kept it in bathroom draw and didn't put it away in my usual spot. It was in a box (coffin) so I didn't have to worry about rust spots. Anyway, it is quite sharp and it performed well for this shave. I picked Cella because it gives a great, slick lather as you can see here in my pic below:



I made more than enough lather that I did 3 passes instead of my usual two. I took my time because I was in the mood for a nice, slow and relaxing shave. I ended with an errorless BBS shave. Some how my face got younger. Lol! Anyway, the alum feedback was there, but it was not a terrible sensation. I used the Stirling Frankincense and Myrrh aftershave because I want to get rid of it. I will only pair it with, Cella, Arko and Van der Hagen soaps because the first two have lost their scent and VdH soap is mildly scented that I can use any aftershave with it. Take care.

 

awesome Joe.

 

Thanks Gary. It truly was an awesome shave.
