    Thank you, Jared. This is the only Stirling soap I have that I do have a slight reaction to. I also has a rose scented TSD soap and had a similar reaction. It isn't too bad, and is certainly tolerable, but it does make me hold off on using it quite as often. The scent does make up for it, but I wonder what it is about the rose scent.

    I tried a DR Harris Rose once, and I thought someone threw acid in my face. It was BAD bad. The Stirling isn’t nearly as bad, but now I’m just gunshy. My wife really likes it tho, so it’ll get used.

    Another wonderful filter effect Jim. The Ranger Tech is such a cool looking razor.

    I got few water spots on mine, I was hoping polishing might remove. Hopefully, Clint has some advice.

    Just rub some toothpaste lightly to remove the water spots. That’s exactly what I’ve done. It will patina right back up in a couple of uses. Brass polish like Bar Keepers and Brasso have abrasives that might remove the matt finish.

    Clint, thanks for the advice. I saw on another site, were a guy used Cape Cod tarnishing cloth on the Karve and it looked amazing. I have heard of people using Ketchup on brass, what is that all about.

    I use the Cape Cod cloth on my Timeless Bronze. I wipe it down with the Cape Cod cloth then wipe it again with a clean dry microfiber cloth. Quick and easy.

    July 29th
    Razor: Timeless .95 SC
    Blade: Treet Platinum (2)
    Brush: SOC badger
    Pre shave: Stirling mentholated
    Soap: Soap Commander Wisdom
    Thayers Lavender
    AS: Fine Lavender Pour Homme

    Good morning!

    A great shave to start the day! The left hand was better today, still not natural though. I do feel progress with each shave.

    The Fine Lavender Pour Homme pairs nicely with the Soap Commander Wisdom.

    I feel good and I smell good! Have a great day! [​IMG]

    Yesterday’s shave was nothing short of perfect. Fantastic lather from the SC, and the amazing post shave feel reminded me of why I enjoy this soap so much. A Feather Super in the General easily provides the smoothest, closest shave of any safety razor I’ve ever had.

    This morning I realized I hadn't taken my shave creams out for awhile, so I grabbed one of my favorites. Loaded a fresh Gillette yellow, I forgot how sharp and smooth these blades can be. I then proceeded to execute great 3 pass BBS shave. Have great Sunday everyone.
