Stirling Black Ice - that lovely anise-scented soap which lathers beautifully and has such an awesome menthol punch with perfect skincare. I used it just before and got a super BBS shave. The Fougere Santal aftershave from my wife did a great job of completing my shave and I love the scent!
Day 27 of 30 days of straights Today was another very good day shaving with the straight. I did manage to cut myself on my left cheek, but it was a very light cut.. I still need to learn to flair before landing. This was also another day without any irritation. Overall, it is a DFS. I almost managed a BBS, but I am just a touch off. 3 passes with no nicks, 1 cut, no weepers and no irritation.
