    Fwiw Stirling is closing out some summer scents and some blemished synthetic brushes.

    Last brush you'll ever wonder why you didn't use it this whole time.

    Disclaimer: I fully intended to take pics, but completely forgot until I finished up, and I am too lazy to do it now!

    My package arrived yesterday, but the evening was a bit too hectic to do anything more than sniff. Tonight, I loaded up a Feather in the new razor, just to take away one variable, and proceeded to lather the Stirling Sandalwood with my new Stirling synthetic. I'm completely impressed by both products! I think sandalwood might make the top of the list for scents for me. The brush built a terrific lather very quickly, and held enough for at least 4 full passes. Problem was, I ended up BBS after 2, with absolutely no touch ups needed. This razor just might knock my Red Tip to the silver medal spot. Alum provided just a bit of tingle, no burn, and I finished with the Mountain Man. If the aftershave gets a nod of approval from SWMBO, I'll order a full size bottle. Once again, I'm completely satisfied with my Stirling order. Excellent company, and outstanding products.

    Razorrock plisson arrived from Italian Barber today. Color me very impressed. Might shave with it in the morning. I'll snap a picture before. Just really soft and nicely made.
