Sunday Sept 01 (evening) - SE Supply, Synthetic, Simpson's, Stirling September
Prep: Hot shower with Aleppo olive oil soap w/ 20% bay laurel oil (traditional anti-acne)
Razor: Supply 2.0 matte black stainless steel injector w/ SE "nickproof" comb plate / Personna white box (3)
Soap: Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush: Simpson's Chubby 2 Synthetic Bristle
Lather Bowl: None
Post: rinse, alum, rinse, Stirling Iced Pineapple splash
Last shave: Tuesday evening - 5 days
The setup (identical to my last August shaves):
The result: excellent.
The Stirling soap always lathers quickly and easily and provides excellent slickness and protection.
I did one pass WTG and a second XTG. That left me acceptably cleanshaven.
The Personna blade on its third use felt very sharp and smooth. This blade felt like it was just wiping off the lather and the whiskers were magically disappearing with the lather - an effortless shave.
The alum gave no feedback, and I had no nicks, blood spots or razorburn.
The splash provided a good ending to the shave.
I expect I will switch to the non-mentholated Scots Pine soap and splash for my next shaves.
Hope everyone has a great Labour's Day long weekend - for those in places where that is a thing.
