Good shave this morning. Yesterday's shave started off rough due to a bad blade but today's was pretty smooth. I am still working on dialing in the right water ratio for this soap and brush. It's a little wet at the moment and goes on a little thin. I'll continue to work on it. I will try some other brushes with the Stirling as well to find the best one.

Have a great day!

 

I started a brand-new tube of Palmolive Menthol cream and its lovely minty scent, rich lather, and great icy sensation were so enjoyable. This cream's post-shave care is also fantastic - my skin feels so calm and soothed after a shave. The Lucky Tiger a/s cream gave me its own cooling and moisturizing protection which is so important, while the Penguin froze me to smithereens. BBS in just two simple passes!

 

Tabacstag Slant 3
Excellent shave today. The Bronze Shadow made optimal lather from Tabac, as usual. The Maggard Slant cut down my two days growth like a hot knife through butter. Three passes on my face and two on my neck. I should have left well enough alone on my neck, but I did some touch up and got a little burn. B-M Reserve Cool made short work of that, and did not interfere with my Tabac aftershave. This was the best shave so far with this slant. I do have a heavier handle on the way, so I'm expecting even better shaves to come.
