    Cool! You will not be disappointed. The Stirling is my first synthetic, and I am amazed how fast the brush dried out. I think I could use it every day if I wanted. And to think I actually have a brush that you don't have.......yet.:signs136:

    And @RaZorBurn123 too...try not to shave during earthquakes, could lead to discomfort. ;)

    30 Days of Maggard and MITA!

    GSB has a challenger. This blade was so smooth today, it felt as if there was no blade in the razor. 2 pass automatic smoothness in full effect. Alum was very quiet. And for the only time this year I used the American icon Old Spice. Sitting outside right now enjoying a pipe, watching lightning dance over the prairie. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday!

    Aggressiveness in a straight razor - in my opinion - is something related to many factors, not necessarily associated to its ability to hold the edge. As far as I can tell, this depends on many factors, including grinding, type of steel and blade angle. Stainless steel blades, well, some stainless steel blades, seem to be more aggressive than some carbon steel blades, providing a less "rounder" sensation on the skin.
