Stirling SEptember!!!

September 30

Razor - Gem Micromatic OCMM
Blade - CVS Carbon
Soap - Stirling Iced Coffee
Brush - 30DC Meet Up LE
Post - Alum

Final shave of Stirling SEptember 2019!! Gonna stay with the OCMM and rotate out to the meet up brush along with Stirling Iced Coffee for Menthol Monday! Fantastic scent, fantastic lather from the brush, and a smooth fantastic finish with the razor. It's been a fun month of SE razors as always and piling on the Stirling only made it that much better! Thanks to everyone who made this another huge recordbreaker!! I'll have totals the next day or two, but in the meantime let's take it on out to OCtober! See you there!

Stirling Single Edge September

Stirling Blood on Steel SS
Stirling Tuxedo Synthetic
Focus Dynamic R48 1 /2 DE Pivoting Single Edge Razor
Feather on 1
Stirling Blood on Steel (Tsuka) AS

To finish up the month my favorites came out. This is "the Wedding package"

Blood on Steel is at the top of the Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks.

The tuxedo is my most used brush. Works great. I thought I saw that Rod was introducing one of the longer handles with this knot. Yup, I'm in.

While the Blue Ming was hanging around, I sent him packing today cause I was in a hurry. The truth is... soaps do not have to be bloomed. Anybody who says they do..... is as ridiculous as someone who says it is wrong. I just happen to enjoy doing as I please. Great lather, just over to the sloshy side, the way I like.

Went with the Focus Dynamic R48 1/2 DE Single Edge Razor cause I was in a hurry. This tool is highly maligned because it is a technical mechanical razor that forces you to abandon traditional shaving techniques and rely on design. Easy to use, just different. Only razor I have that I always 'chase the baby' and never regret it.

Finished close and irritation free. Hit the mug with that wonderful aftershave and out the door.

Shave on, shave free.

 

Razor: Bartmann 89
Brush: Leo Frilot Disco Haze
Soap: Rock Rose Apothecary Cypress Lime
A/S: Oleo Soapworks Pucker

Enjoy your shave.
