The Florida Water Cologne really bites sometimes but in a good way. Nice shave and ready to go on a supposed to be rainy day

No you didn't. From start to finish Stirling performs like a champ! The post shave is truly amazing.

5/12/15 - The Shovelhead!!

MWF for FatTuesday
Semogue 1305
Ever Ready Shovelhead
GEM PTFE Blade (2)
Clubman Pinaud Special Reserve

The Shovel is different. Angle, aggressiveness, feel, and weight. It wasn't a bad shave. In fact, a closer shave than the GEM 1912. Just seemed the head was a little too heavy. But it was just the first go with it. Got a very close shave with only one nick (account not holding the angle right)

This one has a little plate loss at the tip of the comb, so that kind of messes with my mind and makes it a less smooth shave. If I choose I really like it, I'll be getting another in better condition. This was just a cheap try. Haha

Razor – Mongoose B2 with Jürgen Hempel Ti
Blade –Feather Super Pro (14)
Brush –Rubberset 400-3 with WSP HMW
Lather – B&M Seville
Post - Witch Hazel and Myrsol Limon Sample



Another great near BBS 2 pass shave this morning. I had to work a little harder to get the same results. I will be changing the blade before the next shave. The B&M Seville soap is one of my favorite soaps. I really enjoy the scent and the performance. Finished up with witch hazel and Myrsol Limon from my sample pack.

I agree 100%, David. The TSD sticks are not only a quick lathering solution, but the lather is top notch as well!

TUESDAY
Back to work Day!
Fourth day using the same razor; fourth day of getting another great shave.
Have a great Tuesday, all!

Tuesday
Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Scots Pine Sheep
Soap: TOBS Avocado Cream
Razor: Gillette Fatboy/195 [6]
Blade: Personna Med Prep (2)
Brush: Plisson #12 Grey Badger-22mmx56mm
Aftershave: Proraso Green

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

TOBS Avocado cream today. 20 seconds to load the Plisson badger. Great, easy, thick, lather. Personna Med Prep in the Fatboy. I left the Fatboy on 6. Almost no learning curve as expected. It is definitely more aggressive set on 6 than my Slim and I am getting used to the different angle. Superb smooth, close, shave. I finished with Proraso Green.

I have to say the end result was the normal super smooth shave I have come to expect from this razor... But this blade and razor combination doesn't do it for me. Some tugging and a little irritation as a result. Maybe this blade will be suitable in the slant, which seems to make any blade shine like a new car.
