Outstanding Oud shave this morning. The Stirling Agar may be the darkest of all the Oud scents that I have in either of my dens. Unfortunately, it appears that the software is no longer available on the Stirling website.
I had a very nice error free three pass shave with my first straight, acquired in 2002. The end result was a smooth and comfortable shave.

I decided to bust out a software combination that I have not used in a while. The DG/CL collaboration is such a wonderful scent. The scent description taken from the Maher Ofactive from the Chatillon Lux website is as follows:
“Queen Nefertiti was known to wear a perfume of honey and orchid leaf, so in this fragrance, I combine those warm tones with a crescendo of coniferous kyphi incense, a glissando of jasmine, sparkling terpenes, and the percussive base of oud, immortelle, vetiver and musk.”
Looking back at my records I have now used this software for 10 shaves. The reason I checked the shave total was due to the amount of soap remaining in the tub. The tub is listed at four ounces, which would be 112 grams. The tub minus the cover and soap is 35 grams. The total amount of soap remaining in the tub is 67 grams which is a little befuddling. Since I use between 1.5 to 2.0 grams of soap per shave I would think I would have about 90 grams of soap remaining. Something is amiss. Perhaps the tub was a bit short on soap. Nothing I can do about it but enjoying the remainder of the soap.
The resulting shave was just fantastic. As usual with the DG/CL soap collaboration I was rewarded with a nice lather with a great scent and superb slickness.
I hope you all have a great day gentlemen.
