    A Stirling SEptember

    Blade: Kai Captain Mild
    Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
    Brush: Artisan badger
    Lather: Stirling The Lounge
    Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Baker Street aftershave
    WTG, touch-up

    Great lather from The Lounge and nice results with the Black Hawk razor. Smooth and comfortable are the key words. I enjoy using the Black Hawk as it is different than both injectors and GEM-style SE razors. It provides a change of pace. Overall top notch.

    Have a great day!

    Ah ok. The Glacial version would be way beyond your limit. It's a bona-fide face-freezer.

    Another shave and two more items to try out. Segal razor, thanks to @swarden43 and Segal blade, thanks to @Morman Bridge. Did a full three passes and got a pretty smooth BBS shave. Will eventually modify various brands of blades to try them out.

    I've been looking for a Segal for some time (though I haven't really been putting much effort forth) that I can pick up pretty cheap. Aside from taking nonstandard blades, the head profile looks a lot like the Cooper MonoBilt. I am curious to see if the shave is similar, because the Cooper is one of my favorite razors to use.

    They are pretty close, just I think the Segal's parts are a tad bit thicker. I've also been thinking of getting a Cooper. I need more non- Gillettes.

    I decided to take a final shave on this Flare. Though it's quite the beater / rat rod of razors, it give a DFS. I wanted to make sure it was up to snuff prior to putting it in a PIF.
