Stirling Sandpiper today. 20 seconds to load the Cowboy Classic/Whipped Dog Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 7-O’Clock Blue SP still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Stirling Sandpiper aftershave.

So I let the beard grow out a bit just to relax the face and as I didn’t have anything pressing work wise I let it slide. Today I needed an OC and reached for the New LC and a Gillette Platinum to get the shave on. The razor is beautiful to say the least but truly shaves so incredibly well that you can do it on auto pilot just enjoying the soap, scents and sounds.

The soap of the day was Stirling Weekend in Malibu and what a wonderful scent especially since it’s been raining here for days! Just reminds me of summer and fruity drinks!

Lathered up with the wall of badger that is the Chubby 2 and off we went. A wonderful, slow and quite enjoyable three pass shave on the way to BBS. Topped off with the matching AS and some English Laundry Windsor in the form of the EDT and matching deodorant stick. Excellent match by the way for the WIM on the dry down.

Lovely long weekend so far, and hopefully everyone is enjoying their time with friends and family. Hug them lots and keep them close. Happy shaves all.
