    Well, probably so. How can a man like me learn about the "new stuff" when everyone grabs for it? :angry017:

    Stirling Single Edge Shavette September

    Stirling Dunshire soap, on the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks to be sure.

    Stirling Badger, awesome

    Focus R28 Slim Al, a very nice replaceable blade edge forward shaving device. Nice Shaver. I grab this sometimes when I am pressed for time. Spritz of isopropyl, simple towel pat, put it away.

    Stirling Dunshire AS & EdT. The Stirling rendition of Acqua di Gio. Good to go.

    I wonder what parts of the South it resembles the most...

    No photos, but today was Stirling Gentleman and matching AS. Applied by a Bruce, and removed in two passes with an Israeli loaded Game Changer.

    This was my first time with the splash. Eight hours later and it’s still there! The scent is growing on me. The splash is more complex than the soap to my nose, and it’s allowing me to better understand it.

    Y'know, I used to think perhaps I should explain on behalf of "newbies" just what Stoylin is, and who Doc Ezlovan is. Then I decided that for every one newbie for which I provide those explanations, we get 5 more newbies They'll figure it out, just by blending in.

    With a picture of a barbershop pole on the lid, it must be kinda special indeed.

    Stirling Single Edge Straight Slurry Stone Showdown September....

    Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic soap
    Stirling badger
    Gold Dollar 208 vs The Barbers Bride
    Stirling Mountain Man AS

    So far, best edge I could get on the Gold Dollar was on synthetic stones to 12k with spinner tape.
    I decided to give my GD 208 a ride on the new convexed coticule, nah, not working. Pulled out the ConvArkie, still not working.

    After multiple combos, I decided to use the slurry stone on the black ark and loved what I was feeling. Finished on a pasted balsa progression and headed off for a shave showdown with the Wacker Barbers Bride done professionally on Shaptons to 30k.

    Went to the shave-off with an awesome bowl full of Stirling MITA suds, finely whipped. And, well, the piece from the family in Solingen that has hand made razors for Royalty still wins...... but the $5 Chinese clunker did have a respectable showing.

    Finished with Stirling Mountain Man (from the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks) and headed off to watch an AMA Pro motorcycle hillclimb with my brother and our beloved life mates.

    We had not been to this event in 35 years. There were a couple of vintage Harleys on display that had been retired. One had a rigid frame. Far cry from the technical custom wonders of today with two feet of suspension travel and fuel options including nitromethane.
