Single Edge - Stirling September 9/1
Some of my fav stuff.
Stirling Blood on Steel 2019, also known as Stirling Tsuka, a Hanae Mori dupe. Great opening, wood like mid, and long lasting gentle and pleasant floral/lite powdery is how I describe it. Even though the authorities at the Stoylin - Toynah awards have disqualified it in their awards this year, I just don't have anything I like more.
The highly esteemed Spirit of St Louis Deluxe Limited Edition TSD BBQ Meetup Flat Top Brush went into action. This is a very soft and floppy knot, but is capable of generating a finely aerated lather like no other. It does a lousy job picking up even a soft soap like Stirling until......... 'The Blue Ming' shows up to further soften and hydrate the consumable of choice. Folks, fuggettabout any face lathering here. If you want that smooth shiny slick Stirling lather slightly sloshy, go for the bowl. And I really don't care whether you used it earlier for soup or cereal,you will not be disappointed.
Now the much maligned Focus Dynamic R48 1/2 DE Single Edge Razor. For me, this is the Wedding Razor. With a properly loaded Feather and a huge variance on normal shaving techniques it'll deliver me an irritation free closeness only topped by a shavette. And it easily gets that spot on the upper side of the neck that I just can't quite hit with the edge forward device. I always chase the baby with this tool..... easy catch too. After getting my first one of these I used it almost exclusively for 3 months. It taught me what I wanted to have in all of my shaves. It also taught me a huge thing about the growth pattern of my beard, because the finishing touch needs to be ATG for perfection. I don't use it much after taking up straights, but I will this month.
Finishing up with the #1 slot on the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks....... Stirling Blood on Steel 2019 / Tsuka.
