Hard to believe we're almost finished in September but here we are. Three days to go after tonight. It's been another good month around here and the SE razors have proven their worth! I can say the same for tonight's shave with the Type M Schick. I left it wide open and went for the baby and found it without even trying. It's just a matter of setting the angle, letting the razor do the work and guide it home.
I tried the Stirling Black Ice soap tonight. The official scent is Anise - so a nice licorice scent was strongly in the room. I'm a personal fan of black licorice so I really enjoyed the shave. Plus, lathering from a black puck that turned into the usual creamy goodness of Stirling is a nice visual. It's a beef tallow soap so the normal awesome performance and after-shave face feel is a part of it. I would definitely consider adding this as a full tub purchase. The menthol kick at the end is very nice too. Really leaves you feeling the cold.
Some notes ahead of the month-end. OCtober is, of course, open-comb razor month for the theme and I offered up Oleo as the potential theme soap for the month. If that's something you haven't heard of they are the makers of El Caballero. So - if you have any Oleo Soapworks products in your den, feel free to break them out for OCtober. However, since I suspect it's not as prevalent as some other brands (or have I missed something) I'm modifying it to "Oleo and Oddballs" for the soap theme. How does that work? Well, if you have an Oleo product you've got it. But if you have other soaps that don't get used much this could be their chance too. I have a few like that to add to the El Caballero for the month. Anyway, just some things to help you get ready if you want to play along with the theme. As always, of course, themes are optional.
Have a great Friday tomorrow!
