Just received 1 hour ago...all the way from Maggard USA. Cheapest shipping rates and fast delivery. only takes 2.5 weeks to my place. Will start with the Orange Chill in tomorrow's shave! Asian Plum smells fabulous! Too bad Maggard is out of Asian Plum, Pear, and Kaizen. Regardless, my first full tubs of famous Stirling soaps...

That's a beautiful sight with some of my favorite Stirling scents! Hope you enjoy em.
 
My third quarter 1954 Gillette tech arrived today. Also came with a tuck of Voskhod blades that I wasn’t expecting. Been wanting to try both for awhile now. Though it does look like the blades have been ground more on one side than the other

I've had a few of these scents on my radar for a while, and had to order a Zingari Man Sego soap based on the rave reviews here. I've smelled the Lavanille AS in the past, so knew what I was getting into with that, but have yet to try the Excelsior base. It was a blind buy for the DG MotI and Zingari Man Navigator. Was very impressed with DG MotI scent, and I'm sure I'll be equally impressed with the Milksteak base. The Zingari Man Navigator is a very light and clean scent, being around a 5 on the scent strength scale. I don't detect any of the musk or amber advertised on the package. I figured I needed more summer/spring scents in my den, so rolled the dice on this one. Look forward to trying these out in my next shave.

The DG aftershave was the only one in stock at the establishment I ordered from. However, I had a soap sample of the same scent, and being a huge fan of leather, this was an easy one to pull the trigger on. I can't speak for the performance, but scent is what I expected. Hopefully it comes close to the CL and Maol Grooming aftershaves that I consider at the top of the heap.

Thanks...use it for today's morning shave...Wow...truly live up to the hype! Beautiful orange scent that last. Nice cooling sensation on the face...performance is as good too. Very happy with the choice and will be eyeing for more Stirlings
 
A couple of weeks ago I got reacquainted with my Rockwell 6C and realized just how good it is. Couldn't resist trying the 6S. It arrived yesterday and I had a perfect shave with it this morning, using the 4 plate. I found it even better than the 6C, probably because of the extra weight. If it's true that it doesn't glide as well as the 6C, I never noticed it. I think it will become my go to, wth the AS-D2 a close second.
