WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

This was my very first shave with my Birth Year Tech. As expected, it was very user friendly. I used the Stirling MITA. Each time I use it, I like it better. It produces a nice thick, smooth lather. Close, nick, and burn free shave. I finished with Krampert’s Frostbite

Blade: Personna Med Prep
Brush: Chesterfield/Carrington Synthetic 22mm x 49mm
Aftershave: Captain’s Choice Bay Rum
WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

This was the 2nd shave with my Tech and the Med Prep blade. I was using the Stirling MITA again (it gets better each time-great lather & scent). I got a great ARCTIC rush while shaving, along with a nick and burn free shave. It does not shave as close as my MR1 and is much lighter. I had to really concentrate on not adjusting with more pressure. I did a little follow-up where needed. I finished today with Captain’s Choice Bay Rum. What great combination!

Sunday-Menthol Week

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic
Razor: 1950 Birth Year Gillette Tech
Blade: Personna Med Prep
Brush: Chesterfield/Carrington Synthetic 22mm x 49mm
Aftershave: Krampert’s Frostbite
WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle for my beard a bit)

This was the 3rd shave with my Tech and the Med Prep blade. I am still with the Stirling MITA. I will be ordering more Stirling soaps! I did have a small nick under my lip (not styptic worthy), but no burn. The Frostbite did its job as usual too. The ARCTIC and the FROSTBITE make a great combination, especially in August down here.
