Thanks, gents. Probably won't shave today; likely tomorrow instead. I don't want to be freshly cleanshaven right now -- I am about to go out and shovel away 10cm (4") or so of snow. It's - 20C out with a 25kmh wind, so every bit of extra skin coverage helps...
Shield Evolution titanium cerakote AC razor. Yaqi 24mm synthetic brush. Stirling Soap Company Sharp Dressed Man shave soap and splash. Timeless Razor shave bowl. Awesome shave this morning! Three smoooootttthhhh passes. Happy Humpday everyone!
Thank Joe. It has been a while since the Stirling has come out to play. I don't know why......it is good stuff. Take care.
DE Shave # 509 Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Yaqi Adjustable Blade: Gillette Silver Blue Brush: Jayaruh 382 “Civil War” Boar Pre-Shave: Pears Soap - Mint Extract Lather: Proraso White Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Revenant Additional Care: Maggards Alum Thayer’s Witch Hazel - Original Nivea Sensitive Balm Wonderful shave this morning with the same set up Monday except I switch out the Suneko blade for a new GSB. I would have to say that with this razor both blades delivered an exceptionally close shave. Hard to give the nod to which is the better performer as it is that close. Have a great day gentlemen.
Awesome shave Scott. “ Now I have to figure out if it was the razor or cream that made today’s shave so very easy and smooth.”
January 10 SOTA Good afternoon. Shavette Shave #521 Parker SRB Gillette Wilkinson Sword DE Blade (11) MrEE #10 LE Cashmere Brush Stirling Spice SS and AS Stirling Alum Block Modessa Witch Hazel Beard Growth: 23 hrs I haven't used Stirling Spice SS in awhile so I needed to break it out. Every positive thing has been said about Stirling Soaps. It just flat out works every time. It's one of the easiest lathers to make and therefore, it would be perfect for a newbie. Here's my lather: Honestly, yesterday's shave was so close that I didn't need to shave today, but I just like to shave every day. I really only needed 1 pass, but this scent is so divine that I did my usual 3. I got an error-free BBS shave, once again. The alum feedback was very slight. In fact, I got more of a burn with the matching aftershave. It's to be expected because of the scents used to make this soap. Yes, I did splash on the witch hazel prior to the aftershave. Take care.
