    Stirling SEptember!!!

    September 18

    Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade - CVS Carbon SE
    Soap - Stirling Executive Man
    Brush - Jayaruh #54
    Post - Alum

    I took last night off for a couple of reasons. First I was tired. As in very tired. Second, the cut from the OCMM was still a bit obvious so I figured I'd give it a break. Came back tonight with two days growth with the OCMM and the Stirling Executive Man, courtesy of the JR54. Extremely nice lather and scent and I expected perfection. Well, by the way we measure perfection around here I achieved it. Very smooth third shave on the carbon blade and three passes brought it to a BBS. The cut reopened just a bit so there was that, but we don't count that here, right? All in all a great shave for the third run through on the OCMM. Great razor that gets tons of respect from me. Hope you have a fantastic Thursday!!

    After the trials of my 30DR, i went looking in my den for a follow up. I decided i just wanted something easy and comfortable so i looked for my favorite shaving gear and well, i ended up in Turkey. :)

    A super shave without any hitches whatsoever. The Arko cream is slicker than hot snot and i always enjoy using the light and nimble YUMA. BBS with ease. No nicks, weepers or irritation.
    Its cold this morning (4ºC ) so the beeswax cream is a real nice treat to keep the wind of my face whilst going to work.

    Bonus point: @Primotenore & @clint64

    I had your sage advice ringing in my ears again this morning, so thought that i would weigh the cream i used.

    My initial dollop was half of that but i kicked myself to be super generous this morning. I think i had too much lather when i finished up lol. I could have done two shaves with it! My water quality really is fantastic for shaving.

    Congratulations, Jon and welcome to the wonderful world of lather excess. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. :eatdrink047:

    Cold Water Rinse
    Cella Crema Da Barba
    Jayaruh #369
    TNNSER 3D
    Gem CS SE
    CWR
    Cella After Shave Balm

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Cella Crema Da Barba face lathered well with the Jayaruh #369 Brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER 3D razor with a Gem CS SE Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
