Tuesday's Planned SOTD

Pre Shave- Stirling Autumn Glory bath soap
Stirling unscented pre shave oil

Shave-Stirling Autumn Glory Shave soap
Omega Professional Boar Brush
Stirling DE3P2 with Persona Lab Blue (1)

After Shave- Stirling Coniferous Witch Hazel and Aloe
Stirling Autumn Glory AS balm

This picture is from tonight's test lather and wow did this thing explode just from 30 seconds of loading on the puck and 30-45 seconds building the lather in my Georgetown Scuttle. This is one of Stirlings fall releases and honestly guys I think everyone should buy a puck or tin. This stuff smells amazing!!! It is hard to describe, complex, earthy, mossy, fresh, in my opinion it is Fall in a puck. I can not wait for the A.M. shave. Hope everyone is having a great night/day!!

 

This Mornings Shave
HOT! Shower
Arko Shave Stick/Straight Razor Designs-Blood Orange, Uber-Lather
Schick C3 Repeater/EMS-Personna d2
Witch Hazel
Clubman Classic Vanilla

What a great shave...a genuine 5 Blade Shave!

Today I made an Uber-Lather, by applying the Arko stick to my whiskers and hitting it with a hot wet brush loaded with the bowl whipped Straight Razor Designs Blood Orande lather....I looked like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Santa....ha,ha...and the ensuing BBS was effortless...

Have a Great Week Of Great Shaves Everybody!

Vielen Dank mein Freund. Das ist so lieb.

 

A hell of a nice shave with my new Edwin Jagger Menthol cream. It lathers great, smells actually quite nice and it's got a Proraso Green cooling effect. The Lucky Tiger aftershave cream is really cooling and soothing, and the Alt Innsbruck felt super-icy!

Wool Fat Tuesday September 22 SOTD:

Homemade PS Oil
Stirling Synthetic Brush
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Injector Type G
Stirling Unscented PSB
Tabac AS

 

Tyr's Day:

Prep: Hot shower, Healthy Accents Daily Renewal Cleanser, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger
Lather: Ginger's Garden Grapefruit Mint
Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC
Blade: Bolzano Superinox (5)
Passes: WTG, XTG (11, 12)
Post: Cold water splash, Dickinson's witch hazel, Myrsol Metilsol AS splash
Cologne: Burberry Brit

I should have changed the blade before this AM's shave. I got good lather that was just cooling enough to help wake me up completely after my shower. The RAKE, as always, was forgiving without being too mild. The Bolzano, however, was not sharp enough anymore, and I could feel it scraping as a result. Two passes approached DFS results, but there's a bit of razor burn there, even after the Metilsol cooling sting wore off. Tomorrow the 41c gets a turn.
