I've stuck to my Single Soap Focus (SSF) so far this month and have continued using the Stirling Electric Sheep for each shave. It has proven to be an excellent soap with slick lather that is stable and easy to create regardless of the brush chosen for the day. The last 4 shaves have been with the same razor and aftershave (only changing the brush and blade).
'54 Gillette Flare Tip (Z1)
Stirling Electric Sheep Shaving Soap
T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Proraso Green Aftershave
The shaves have been smooth, comfortable, efficient and without irritation or mishaps. I continue to ride the cap in order to find the most efficient cutting angle and have stuck to my 2+ pass routine (extra "+" pass is used going over the goatee area to ensure smoothness). The Gillette razor has performed well and the Proraso aftershave does a great job finishing off the shaves. The last two days have also included a few final spritzes of a favorite EdT: Guerlain Vetiver.
