The Stirling Exchange

I'm done with them, too......I just go for the whole shootin' match, based on Doc Ezlovan's description and the overall balance of the reviews. To me, it's hard to "lay them on heavy". (Your quotes).

 

Oh, that's easier than scraping.

 

That is exactly what I do too. I also press the 1 ounce puck into the container which helps keep it still while I load. Best of luck.

 

Thanks John, I'll try it sometime. I do happen to have some sample soaps, but no containers. But these soaps came probably a year or so ago, thus they may have lost their strength. Having said that, they still smell good.

 

Okay Paul...... As chief Tsuka Fanboy, I guess I'll just have to 'take one for the team' and go another day.







PS - might have done it anyway.

 

It'll be on board Friday or Saturday, depending on if I want to go a 3rd day with the current SOTD(see SOTD).

 

When I have it set to go, I'll make sure to get a gold medal from you in the Olympics of Shave Reports.

 

Wonderful shave with Dunshire this morning. Used the mentholated splash and spritzed on a little of the EdT. Wonderful scent!

 

Again, wonderful report and set up, Perry!

 

Thank you, Tim!

 

I may give this one some attention, as a possible Stoylin Tony nominee for this "season".

Soap: Stirling Piacenza
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Piacenza aftershave

Fantastic shave, Perry. Gorgeous Lather Catcher, btw. That handle isn't original, is it?

 

cool stirling shaves Perry..

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Thank you, Tim! The handle is indeed not original. @Jayaruh made that handle for me. I had a metal handle that wasn't a match to the razor and he made a beautiful wooden handle to go with it.

 

I'm a Sandpiper fanboy.

 

So am I.
I'll use that next.

 

Used it yesterday--a definite fav.

 

Sandpiper is up for me on Saturday. Wonderful scent!
