Howdy! My Sunday freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Goodfella/7AM day 3 Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB Osage Rub AS Splash Eau Sauvage EdT Hey, who left the MITA in the freezer overnight? Lollllll What a wonderful shave this was - all it took to get me BBS were two passes. For those who aren’t familiar with these Stirling soaps, there are two MITA versions. The original, which is around a 7.5/10 on my personal Menthol Scale and the Glacial, which has three times as much menthol so it’s easily a 10/10. Both versions have the same lovely citrusy/tropical scent and the same great lather as well as that typical brilliant Stirling skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Rubby Dubby Doo kept that freeze going - in fact I can still feel a cool tingle an hour after my shave! Have a great Sunday!
Today's shave was great! Simple tools, wonderful outcome. I keep trying to spread the gospel of technique over tools. This ain't rocket science guys, just simple shaving.

It had been said about the Gent's Gin, that it is best used in the warm weather. I have found, though, that it's manageable in the cold weather too.

Great picture Jim. Did you plan on the lightening to turn out that way, or did it just happen. No matter what, it works.
