evening of May 3 - Got the wife to shave with Stirling!!!
My wife says that now that I am wet shaving, there is no chance that anyone can shower, much less shave, in the morning. She chose to get cleaned up last night and partake in one of the finer things in life - a fresh Stirling lather. For her first dive into a brush shave, she selected Jayaruh's #148 or , as I more affectionately call Dark Chocolate. To complete her selections, she had me order (with my 15 soap order - SEE how you get to order MORE soap AND get wife approval!!!
) Stirling's Vanilla Bean Espresso shaving soap. She also ordered the Almond Creme but chose the Espresso for her first lathering. She requested I create the lather. With all the lather issues I tend to have, I was going to weasel out of it but then again, who would pass up on seeing their wife in their birthday suit!! So I obliged. Not having shaved with it (yet), all I can comment on it is the lather and the scent. It was very strongly scented, in a fantastic way. It had glorious notes of natural vanilla and espresso beans. If you held an open vanilla bean pod and a bag of coffee beans, I would have a hard time telling which is which. It really is a great and accurate scent. I loaded the brush like my wife bought it AND because her legs have more square footage than my face.! LOL. I created the typical and easy to obtain lather that Stirling is renown for - thick, creamy, cushiony and slick. nothing but the best for my wife's first whipped lather.
I could NOT convince her to shave with a DE so she used her usual disposable instead. Will win one battle at a time.
She too remarked at how much better this shave was over her usual can o goo shaves. 2 passes and the deed was done. She loved the fact that after one shave she too felt her legs were more moisturized than when they started and this was with no post or pre shave support.
Another happy Stirling customer!!
