All right, "Artisinal Shave Soap" week, I've got plenty of those!
Today's Stirling Glacial-Wintergreen is VERY minty and VERY menthol-ly, the scent WILL wake you up!
The slickness, ease-of-lather, and post-shave face-feel are all top-notch.

I was sensing a lack of Stirling until mkiraly posted, so I decided to bring out my Stirling Sandalwood chased by some Captain's Choice Sandalwood aftershave. Great combo for me!

Also accompanying the SOTD is a Muhle 33K256 (synthetic) brush, ATT S2 Kronos, and Gillette Rubie Super Stainless blade.

I have to say, this soap is amazing! It is my instant favorite, and I have many other well known soaps and creams. It beats them by a long shot in scent and performance. That being said, I have Mystic Water and Stirling incoming so we shall see how those hold up! Cheers Gents, and great pictures today everybody!!

A late post today, but my week will coincide with the theme for once.
Menthol Monday
Gillette single ring /big Ben (1)
Yeti Snot
Omega boar
Retinol ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Sport
The blade was a little tuggy right off the bat, and did not improve much during the shave. I did end up BBS.
