Started my new Titanic soap today. It’s a large sample of Stirling Island Man. I’ve had this in the tub for over a year now. I will be using it every other shave until it is gone. Rod’s scent description: “An intoxicating blend of bergamot, lime, mandarin, coconut, jasmine, hibiscus, ylang-ylang, ginger, sugarcane, musk, and rum. The Island Man only makes his appearance during the summer season so get yours while it lasts!“ the scent is even better in the splash than the soap.

Second use of this beautiful brush from
@jtspartan. The handle is amazing. The synthetic knot is very soft with no scritch, and has a very light backbone. I think I hate it. I’m going to do a rule on it for July, but if I don’t come around to it by then it’s getting a boar knot (in 2020 when my NB is over.)
One down side of using every razor I own one time each is that some of my touchy razors, like this Cooper Monobuilt, I don’t get enough time with to remember the fine points of using. Did a three pass shave with a light touch and no chasing, and settled for a DFS. Alum was still warm though. If I use this razor for a couple of weeks, I can get BBS with no blood.
