    Tom @twhite deserves the praise for the hardware & Jared @PickledNorthern for the Stirling soap.

    My wife is the one that is good about carrying hers. Frilly looking things that she likes making fun of me when I put them on.

    I'm reporting in to Neal @NCoxSTL and Chris @Bama Samurai that 200 more of these horrible baby killers have been taken off the streets.
    IMG_2098.jpg
    They have been safely tucked away from the innocent, unprepared public in my Mostochlegmash box.
    IMG_2095.jpg
    Which, now that I look at it, is getting woefully short of Voskhod and Ladas. Time to call Ivan and Sergei.
    I do however also have a nice box of St. Petersburg steel on hand as well.
    IMG_2097.jpg
    The Yakuza will have to forgive my lack of Japanese steel, but my beard more closely resembles that of a Czar than an Emperor.
    I do have a lovely Japanese chopstick and spoon set, as well as some Korean style chopsticks if that makes a difference.

    I'm a Lefty, too. So that's two points in your favor. I keep a couple sets of every day stainless chopstick in my silverware drawer. Is it Cultural Appropriation if you can cook your own stir fry, then eat it as intended?

    Todays shave consisted of my prizes from the Shavey awards (soap and razor)Randy@BaylorGator and this brush was pif'd to me by John@screwtape . Blade was from Chris@Bamasamuri.
    Randy...that soap is awesome. Fresh fruity goodness with a nice cooling effect . Oh yeah!Thanks a million.

    It really does . I'm doing a Fathers Day PIF over at the TOST for a Gem 1912 SE and some shave creams and a new boar brush if you want in on it . Going to do one in here in the next month or 2 . Spread the love.

    Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap
    Blade: Schick 'Chick'
    Razor: Schick G1 injector
    Brush: JR #41 badger
    Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave

    I am moving on to three samples of Stirling for the next victims of soap reduction. They are Lemon Chill, Grapefruit, and Iced Pineapple, all containing menthol, and all top quality as you'd expect from Stirling.

    Today's shave was great. Whipped up some terrific lather with ease. Just did one pass for a good enough shave. All came together just fine.

    Met with our realtor tonight over dinner. Things are getting real for selling our house. Work everywhere continues in a fury. Lots of things to do to get it in shape. Our plan is for the listing to go live one week from tomorrow.

    Enjoy your evening!
