View attachment 297409
The result: excellent.
I shook out out my brush properly this time so it was just damp. No messy spray and good lather on the face.
The Stirling soap lathered quickly and easily and provided excellent slickness and protection.
Love the fine fall scent of the Scots Pine -- a strong coniferous forest smell.
I did one pass WTG and a second XTG. That left me acceptably cleanshaven. The alum gave no feedback, and I had no nicks, blood spots or razorburn.
This time I remembered the splash and enjoyed an extra woodsy finish to the shave.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far.
