    DECember 10 SOTD:

    Rubberset 400
    Stirling Agar
    Gillette Milord
    Stirling Unscented
    PAA Santalum Fumus AS

    Now this is a shave to start the day. I had some time and wasn't rushed, so I had Alexa start up some Jazz Christmas music, and worked a nice lather with this wonderful soap. I used the first vintage razor I ever got, which also was the first razor my family gave to me. I got a nice BBS with two + passes. This AS is a a smoked Hawaiian Sandalwood scent, which I find very pleasing. Really just a great way to start my day. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

    Stirling Agar
    Kai

    Another great shave. A momentary lapse in concentration and I nicked my upper lip. Nothing major, just irritating rookie mistake.

    Kai and Feather blades are unforgiving in the BB. They will certainly bite.

    Enjoy your day, men

    Super picture! How does the Agar AS match the soap? I got a last test batch of the soap, so he didn't have the AS available just yet.
    Thank you!

    I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I do know better than to mess with her nutcrackers!
