I also used a couple of spritzes of Sandpiper EdT this morning. I have sample bottles of Sandpiper, Piacenza, and Dunshire, but today was the first use of any of them. Very nice!

Hi all, My apologies for me absence over the last month or so (hope I can get caught up). Been pretty busy. Not sure if anyone here knows, but September has been dubbed "Stirling September." I'll take ANY excuse to use Stirling lol, so I totally jumped on the band wagon. I've only gotten in 3 shaves and recorded 2, Ramblin Man and Gentleman. Here's a link to last nights shave with a Gentleman, lol
I said I don't use splashes anymore lol. As good as Rod's splashes are, I'm not a big fan of alcohol anymore
Oh, well I couldn't pick up your communicability that well on the splash issue. You then went on to say you just let the soaps handle everything right?

Stirling Single Edge Shavette September It was an all out PiacenzDay Wednesday. We threw the works at it too. Piacenza shampoo - the Stirling shampoo is all I use any more. Awesome stuff. Wish they had a liquid version. My first use of the newly acquired body soap - real soap, not wash. Performance was good, but I probably prefer the bar soap. Also I'm trying to pick up the most glorious stank of the Piacenza, but all I'm getting is a soap smell. After a few minutes I concluded I was smelling Sandalwood, and this container was likely mislabeled. No problem, this will make it easier to get the Lovely Mrs Headroom on board. She uses one of those puff balls which probably work a little better than my terrycloth wash cloth. Routine great performance from the economical and awesome Stirling badger. Piacenza shave soap convinced me I have no need to commit my Wednesdays to a nostalgic box with some soap bastardized by the manufacturer. Went with the Focus R21 Evolution using a GSB for a refresher before my new Focus R28 Slim Al shavette shows up. Great tool, the R21, it will be hard to beat. Finished up with the Stirling Piacenza AS splash. Went to the light side since I planned on doing a couple of hits of the EdT as well. Also used the Stirling Piacenza deodorant (missed the photo shoot). Fab performance in my experience, long lasting. I could easily speculate that it has been discontinued because it is a more vicious product than most. Be well y'all!
Besides the 'Glorious Stank' factor, one of the main draws for me is that Stirling Splashes also contain witch hazel. I've used some of the straight-up 'cented' witch hazels too. Quite nice! Good to see you dropping by. Be well my friend. Bill
My Thursday morning Grand Freeze: Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Shark day 5 Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash Aramis EdT My face is frozen stiff after this ungodly menthol assault (in a good way!) but I enjoyed every minute of it. The mentholated pre-shave soap from Stirling started the ball rolling with its invigorating cooling sensation, it leaves your skin spotlessly clean, it softens up your stubble, and its slickness turns your face into a skating rink. The Glacial Black Cherry soap has such a delightful scent, the lather is so rich as well as easy to work up, and the freeze hits you like ten tons of frigid bricks. The Glacial Unscented balm doesn’t lack menthol either - not only is it as cold as ice, it has such wonderful moisturizing and soothing. The Alcolado Glacial splash froze the daylights out of me. This shave was a three pass BBS work of art!
I need to be more clear in my videos lol! I use Sebum's Gold Serum these days. I know it seems pricey but honestly my face has never been better.
Thanks buddy, appreciate it. I was thinking about going the Witch Hazel route with Sebum's to see how that goes. I do miss the stink factor at times and the menthol, but my skin has gotten so much better since going all in on Sebum
