Thank you Gary...The more the merrier with Stephan Bay Rum A.S. Skin-food product(like Bill Neumann).
I'm going to give this a try. You and Trigger sort of picked the R41. BTW, Trigger, the SE2 is much more aggressive (efficient) with AC blades. Here goes nothing! Thanks for having me. Herm
Jan 2 SOTA Good afternoon. Straight Shave #423 Thiers-Issard Spartacus JR #290 Cashmere Brush Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS Stirling Alum Block Beard Growth: 24 hrs My first straight razor shave for 2023. I decided to use my TI Spartacus for this occasion. I also chose the Stirling Christmas Eve SS and AS to see if I can finally finish both items. Well, I did succeed in that regard. My fav Christmas soap and aftershave is finally consumed. I made sure of it by bowl lathering the soap. I made sure that I had copious amounts of lather to give me at least 3 passes. Take a look below. Did a rare 3 pass shave because I didn't want to waste this lather. I shaved WTG, ATG and XTG, respectively. I got a nice, close and very comfortable shave. There wasn't any traces of blood, irritation or alum feedback so I knew that it was an A+ result. I generously splashed on the last of matching aftershave. Will I buy this bundle again? Yes, because I can use it all year round. However, I have too many soaps to use so I will hold off buying soaps until the end of 2023 or possibly longer. Time will tell. Take care.
