Lather: Stirling Varen
Aftershave: Stirling Varen
Additional Care:
Stirling Unscented PSB
Another new soap, some Stirling Varen. Out of the tub, I was shocked at how similar the scent was to Glastonbury. When lathered, though, the scent opens up quite a bit. Much more florals and the oakmoss really comes out. The soap is a very dry scent, the AS and cologne are a little sweeter. I do enjoy it, but not as much as Ramblin Man. This is also a big scent, so a little care is needed when applying the AS and cologne.
The red thing in the background of the picture is a sleep mask I borrowed from my daughter. I used it as a blind fold during my shave today. In the spirit of openness, I did lather with my eyes open, but I shaved completely blind folded. Two passes, no blood, and a low grade CCS, verging on a SAS. It was definitely different, but as I got going, muscle memory took over, and the shave went pretty well. Not sure I would want to do this with a more aggressive razor. This was a nice way to start my Sunday. I hope everyone has a great day!
