Great setup and shave Gary! I like the darkness of the pic. It's very reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock film noir.

April 30 SOTA

Good afternoon.

Shavette Shave #450
Parker SRB
Laser 1/2 DE Blade (3)
JR #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
Stirling Triumph SS
Fine Accoutrements Platinum AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 24 hrs



It's the last shave of the month so I decided to make it a good one. I brought out the Stirling Triumph sample, the Parker Shavette and my favorite brush and that's the JR #386 Silvertip for this shave.

I usually don't use my natural hair brushes for bowl lathering because it is a little more work, but I decided to do it for a change of routine. As you can see, I made a decent lather:


I did a 2.5 pass error-free shave that gave me a very near BBS result. I had a decent amount of alum feedback on my neck, but sometimes it happens. Double-splashed the FA Platinum aftershave to finish the month on a high note. Take care.

 

You still had nice and varied setups Gary.

 

Thanks Gary

 

Thanks Joe.

We had a very enjoyable day and I did hit up a few antique store and only found one razor....an overpriced Tech which I left it where it was.

 

Thanks Chris. I've been very pleased with my Yaqi brushes. Most of them I have caught on sale. Their two band badgers are excellent.

Take care.

 

Thanks Joe

 

Well, you can't always get a homerun, Danny. However, I will say you have had many, many scores that you have made over the years.

 

True Joe.....I've got more than I need.

Take care.

 

Thank you. I might have a look a just a few acquisitions in May. Those brushes do look cool.

 

Hi Joe, My first Arko was a shaving stick bought locally which I grated and added too much AS to, so I have binned this.

My second Arko product is the tub I have been using in April. Interesting because when I ordered some Stirling soaps from a outlet in Spain they added the Arko as a bonus/freebie! So now I have a chance to get to know my Stirling soaps!

Arko was a bonus, now to get to know my Stirling soaps

 

Glad you were able to procure some Stirling soaps. You will find that's it's an excellent soap.
