SOTD 11 November 2019
For all those who have served in the US military, my deepest thanks for your service. Happy Veteran's Day. For those in the UK and the greater Commonwealth, I honor with you those who gave of their lives so that others may be safe and free.
Today is the second of my first-go-arounds with Stirling samples I picked up recently. Baker Street gets the nod, and I now have two scents I think I may just have to buy full versions of... two for two. Six more to go. As I said Saturday I may be in trouble if this keeps up
Pre-shave: hot shower and towel
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (#3)
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lathering Bowl
Soap: Stirling Baker Street
Aftershave: Stirling Baker Street Splash
For those looking for a good lathering bowl, the Fine Accoutrements Ceramic bowl really is a nice, sturdy, easy to hold bowl, which helps build a lather quickly and efficiently. I've loved using it, and at $25 or less, it's well, well worth the money.
As for the scent of the Baker Street, this is another clean, fresh winner - apparently (and I'm unaware of the backstory) this is a resurrection of a venerable old scent, Strop Shoppe's Baker Street... and it's a wonderful jasmine/juniper/bergamot combo that I'm quite enamored with.
