Tonight

'59 Fat Boy set on 9
Personna Med (12)
Omega Boar
Stirling Iced Coffee Soap
Skin Bracer AS

Shaved off a 7 day beard quite easily with this set up.

First time using this flavor of Stirling, it came as a sample....

Made a creamy lather like all Stirling soaps do. But brownish like coffee!

The blade I will keep using, it has at least a few more shaves on it.

Personna med blades get BETTER and smoother with continued use!

They're perfectly sharp too.

Thanks for yesterday Sam, and yes I do live outdoors, as much as humanly possible! Glad to see the rain made it both ways up the 401!

Menthol Monday!

Prep: hot shower, Lucky Tiger Face Scrub
Pre-Shave: Shave Secret, hot towel
Soap: Dapper Dragon - Arctic Wyrm
Razor: '55 Super Speed Red Tip
Blade: Astra SP (2)
Brush: Excalibur Rustics (Rob Gubber) 24mm Super Silvertip
Post Shave: Alum, cold towel, Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue



Ended up having to do a full pass for clean up. I think I needed more product, because the lather was pretty weak, wheras last week it was wonderful. I still ended with a DFS, which was more than I was expecting. This is about as "special effect" as I can get out here...I'll try and get creative as the week goes on.

Looking forward to a great week!​
