April 13, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG Zenith Boar Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave April 14, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG CH2 Synthetic Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Sunday Everyone! I got side tracked yesterday and forgot to post. So today is a 2 for 1. I have found that loading and lathering from a bowl works much better with the "Fast & Loose Lathering Method". Accordingly, I moved the shave soap to my Aesop shave bowl. This is one of the keys to finishing a soap more quickly. Take care and have a great day.
Sunday, April 14 XPEC~~Rubberset 400/3~~RazoRock Game Changer OC .84/Personna 74~~Vintage Drakkar Noir This shave took place about 12 hours ago...BBS is long gone. The vintage Guy Laroche has become a skin-scent, albeit a beautiful stank.
April 14th Barbasol Floating Head w Astra SP APShave Flattop/ Sapele Jeeves of Hudson St. Blood on Steel combo Thayers Early morning shave, late evening post. Not for the usual reason, though. My phone was kaput...I still have other electronics to post from, but the shave pics are on my phone. Problem rectified late today. This morning's shave was with the 2nd soap I'm thinking about for the next 3017. I rarely reach for it, as I recall not really enjoying the scent. It was fine today. I love the Jeeves lather...it has stood the test of time versus other artisans for me. Verdict? A real contender. It is also one of the older artisan pucks still in my den. We'll see about the scent, but the performance was top notch.
April 15, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG 30 DC LE Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Tuesday. Whew the first big rush of tax season is over. Another excellent shave this morning with a fantastic face chill. Take care and have a great day.

April 15th Barbasol Floating Head w Astra SP Omega Pro/ Resin Stirling Mountain Man SS Thayers Dior Eau Sauvage AS This Mountain Man is the third soap I’m thinking about focussing on next. There is a lot of soap left…well over 4 oz I’d guess. I rarely reach for it, even though I live the Stirling lather. Why? Mrs Spartan is not a fan. I moved the splash onwards, but kept the soap. Verdict? Not a contender. Not going to use this for two months straight…I enjoy being married. I’ll choose between the other two for tomorrow.
Good idea on staying married. I am enjoying my run with Stirling using 29 grams in 6 shaves. So if you decide to give it a go I think you could not it out in 5-6 weeks.
April 16, 2024 Asylum Rx V2 Kai Captain Protouch MG Omega Roma Synthetic Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave Happy Tuesday Everyone. I am really enjoying this 3017. I had forgotten how well Stirling soaps work. I have been very pleased and will likely purchase some more of the glacial soaps. Take care and have a great day.
