Decadent December!!! December 11 Razor - Gillette New SC Deluxe Blade - (3) Soap - Stirling Ozark Mountain Brush - Stirling Finest Badger Post - Alum Boy did this day ever get away. Spent it with my wife just hanging out, some lunch, dinner, you know the drill. Just a relaxing day to enjoy the time. Finally remembered I should probably shave so here we go. Third day on the SC Deluxe and Sharp Star and two days growth to deal with. Ozark Mountain for that incredible scent and lather and the Stirling Finest Badger brush to make it happen. This brush has to be the best quality for the price anywhere. Definitely feels and works like a much more expensive brush. Three full passes to a BBS with no alum feedback and a fantastic way to finish the day in decadence! Thursday is closing in. Make it a great one!

Ever-Ready 1924 / BRW Improved handle Gem Stainless PTFE 2 Semogue BC Mistura Stirling Electric Sheep Dr. Sana Alcoholado Really nice shave this morning since getting the spring tension sorted. Two passes with some blade buffing for about as nice of a shave as you could want. The added attention added a little sting when I applied the Dr. Sana but nothing unexpected. Enjoy your day.
