Lather: Stirling Ozark Mountain

Nice, quick shave this morning with Stirling Ozark Mountain. This is a sample that I'll use a good bit this month. Great lather and post-shave feel. I really enjoy all the Stirling soaps I've tried.

Have a great day!

 

Great picture! The filter looks great.

 

I have a hard enough time shaving without my glasses...add tears in my eyes and I might slice off something important.

 

This was a shave from Paradise or the Antarctic, or whatever is most frigid. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did me with such an amazing scent that I love so much, the best lather, and an ultra-potent freezing sensation. The skincare of these three products cannot be beaten or even matched. The Arctique aftershave went on super-cold and also has great soothing to it. The Dorco blade surprised me with a very easy BBS result.

 

Robert, it's a nice shaving cream. Have a great day my friend.

Parker Variant razor
Gillette Silver Blue blade
VDH/TGN Silver Tip franken brush
Taconic Mint&Eucalyptus SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Skin Bracer A/S w/added menthol

Set the Parker at 2.75 for the Gillette blade and it worked very well. However, I think it would be better at 3. Regardless, it was a smooth, easy, comfortable shave with great results. The Taconic SC is very nice, lathered easily with a nice cooling sensation and good cushion and glide. I like it. And this week I will be using my badger/boars brushes as they have been looking forlorn on the shelf cuz I like synthetic's better and use them a lot more. Gonna be a rainy day here but I don't care cuz I look/smell/feel great. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Soap: Catie's Bubbles "Rosee du Matin"
Brush: Bob Farvour Buffalo Horn 2-band Badger
Razor: Phoenix Shaving Stainless DOC Evolution w/ Personna Lab Blue (2)
Post: Boosters "Polar Ice" aftershave

After yesterday's shave, I wasn't sure I'd need one today. I only had a few remnants of stubble this morning, but I decided to do it anyway. I was rewarded with an incredible 2-pass shave (WTG/XTG) that left me almost perfectly smooth. It felt like my beard was licked off by kittens. My daughter picked the software.

BeS mooth and shave it up, everyone!

despite the fact that Barrister & Mann soaps produce a rich, luxurious lather, I still end up with irritation around the 'trouble spots'... maybe, they simply don't agree with me..

 

That's an evahs razor. It uses the R89 head. Do you find the razor too heavy? Shaves great though...........

Good morning friends! Last night I had my first truly decadent shave of December. I made a wonderful, shiny, yogurty smooth lather from my Stirling Executive Man. The Pal Adjustable, The Shy Girl, whispered sweet nothings into my ear. Swipe by swipe the whiskers faded away and left not a hint of irritation. The Alum was silent, the AS splash was cooling and man did my face feel great! Hope you all have a great day my friends!

 

Fresh shimmed GEM in the Damaskeene, AOS tallow, make for a shave that sings. Baby dolphin butt smooth.
