Love this soap so much. What a great scent and lather. The razor cruised through with the GSB loaded. The CG leaves me as close as the Wolfman, but my face has been just a little sensitive a couple times after using it. Not a lasting irritation; my face feels great after a short while. I think I have to be more efficient with my strokes. I think I'd also enjoy the Lvl 1. There's no denying how smooth it is and how comfortable to handle.
 
Monday day off shave.

brush: Paladin 28mm el dorado in tortoise
Razor: timeless .95 scalloped SB
Blade: fresh polsilver
Soap and splash: Stirling orange chill

have to be honest, I had written off the Stirling soap but glad I didn’t! Been loading more since starting head shaving this year. Was awesome and have a new appreciation for their soaps. Nice for a hot August day.

also, this was going to be my last use of the timeless as I never really bonded with it and have a bunch of others in rotation. As with my lathering, my shaving technique has improved and about perfected with the addition of head shaving. I have recently gained a preference for more aggressive razors. The .95 was amazing. Super smooth and efficient. No irritation despite shaving with ATT H1 yesterday. Guess I’ll have to keep it! Now I’ll give my Rex ambassador a final chance to see if it stays or goes.

Have a good Monday folks!
