    I was able to get to the gym this morning, which is a good sign of things recovering around here. It was a great shave with a smooth razor. I find I prefer both the Damaskeene and Junior over the 1912, and this razor was extremely comfortable this morning. I finished with another sample provided by @Linuxguile, and it was definitely great scent. A nice combination of citrus and lavender. This may end up on my future purchase list. I hope everyone has a great day!

    A Stirling SEptember

    Blade: GEM stainless
    Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    Brush: Semogue 1520 boar
    Lather: Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill aftershave
    WTG, XTG

    Pushbutton today. Smooth results in the end but I had to work a little harder than usual. Took two full passes and a little clean up to get where I wanted. This was the fourth shave on the GEM blade. I am going to start a PTFE blade for the next GEM shave. Nice results in the end despite a little more work. Loved the chill from the Stirling Glacial Lemon! Great stuff.

    It's hard to believe terrible tragedy that took place 16 years ago today. Like all of you I can remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, and how I felt when I learned of the attacks. Sad, sad day. I will certainly never forget.

    Enjoy your day!

    Quick shave on very little sleep this morning. Didn't want to use a straight, I grabbed my injector and my favorite scent from TSD. Eye watering cold aftershave, and a great DFS.

    Fabulous photo, Clint! It looks like The Destroyer is doing its job on that tub of Bay Lime Twist!
    Your photo smells delicious, Ken!
    Nice tribute!
    I enjoy the Ice Sport as well. Great setup, Jason!
    Awesome razor, Brian!
    Nice photo Jim! I enjoyed the MLSW Colonia, but it was on the stronger side and when I put it on my wife always asked if we were visiting the retirement home today. LOL
    Lovely photo, Mark!
    Nice colorful photo, Perry!
    Nice shot, Adam!

    PAL Adjustable
    Chick (? 6th shave maybe)
    Stirling Agar
    Stirling Boar Brush

    Epic shave this morning! The Pal Adjustable wiped away 3 days of growth smoothly and effortlessly without any hint that there was a blade touching my face. Three passes brought home the baby and no need for a post shave because the Stirling Agar left my face feeling smooth and hydrated.

    Thank you Andrew. The Soap Destroyer is living up to its name. The Bay Lime Twist will be lucky to make it through the week.


    Great photo. The PAL Adjustable is such a cool looking razor.

    Thank you, Andrew! My wife hasn't smelled it yet, so I can't comment on her opinion. Tell her it is distinguished.
