  5. Today shave was a great 2 pass with my '46 contract teck, this is a super razor. Soap was sterling spice finished off with some vintage Old Spice.
    I smell superb!
  6. Hello all
    No pictures to share, busy day.
    I got a chance to try out the Kia blades today. Did the morning shave with only one. Started to feel a small tug at the end of the 2cd pass but not sure if it was me or the blade.
    Using my newly aquried Monobit, I found it to be quite plesant.
    Having to shave a second time today, I kinda cheated using a new Feather blade in the Monobit, and only one clean pass with clean-up on the chin area.
    Both were uneventful, nice.
    Used Stirling Bay Rum for both, very enjoyable if you can say that about this chore.

    All in all the Cooper razor works well with a sharp blade and a good lather.

    To everyone
    Enjoy

  19. She did it all...I only came over to help when she asked for it. I've learned a few things in our 18 years together.:happy088:
    I did suggest, however, that she build the ottoman first to practice on that. Lets just say the chair is straighter...
  20. Stirling has improved their soap base a lot since I first tried it back in 2014. The old base had some type of clay or something that flat left razors a nasty mess. Had I not tried the new base I would not recommend the soap. The new base is a very good soap. In general I’m not a fan of Stirling scents. Based on previous experiences I would not commit to a tub of soap without trying a sample. Of course I could say the same about about Barrister & Mann soaps.
