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.

That razor is simply stunning.

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.

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. ​

The end is nigh for the XPEC.
Jason inspired me to break out the Barbasol. I used to think it was uber-aggressive, but I no longer have that opinion.
The Avon is surprisingly awesome!​

Thank you Master Yoda.

Jeeves Blood on Steel SS

The last few days have gotten away from me a bit. Anyway, I did pick this 2018 30DC meet up LE as the next focus. Why? It is a bit older than the others I was considering and I love the Jeeves lather.
2 outstanding shaves to start the 3017.
Have a great day all.

XPEC~~Vie-Long~~Barbasol Floating Head/Sharp Star
Same old, same old. New Sharp Star.​

Very nice soap choice, Jason. It brings back some good memories. I'll enjoy following this 3017.

Keep the blood off the steel
Ride the cap
Technique trumps tools

Those were halcyon days, for sure. I value the friendships and interactions that have lasted through to today.

I still have good memories from those days. Like Jason, I continue to value the friendships that continue even now.

Stirling Glacial Citron Shave Soap & Aftershave



Happy Thursday. The week is flying by for sure. I decided to break out the Cobra Classic, aka "The Snake". I know I am a bit biased but this has to be on of the coolest razors ever made. Once mastered the Snake delivers a fantastic shave but will bite if one fails to pay attention. Take care and have a great day. ​

@Primotenore couldn't stop yodeling for our group hug photo.
