A much better shave once I went back to the tub with the Chubby 1. Needs more water to dial in the face lathering bit. Excellent 2 pass shave! Love the New SC and LC!

Well I'll be running this soap through to Sunday but after cutting through the first layer of the soap it just got even better. I had so much lather I swear I could have gotten at least 2 full shaves from it easily. Now i'm no newbie to this I've just turned 61 last week so I think I can be classified as having a good number of years under my belt at this wet shaving. The performance just got better both cushion, slickness, comfort & post feel. I can only say and hope this is not to far out of place pay a visit to Artisan Shaving Soap And Grooming Supplies Australia - Whispers From The Woods & check it out. I state I have no affiliation with site or owner but if it keeps going this good for me I might buy some shares in it.

How do you like the Simpson Special?
They are usually quite pricey...

I really love it! It’s a very affordable brush only $28 bucks or so. It’s not the best badger, it’s their entry level brush they have a pretty wide variety of brushes for all price points. I’d recommend them!

Tuesday 1/8/2019:
Prep: shower
Pre: Floid's oil (4 drops on each cheek and side of neck)
Razor & Blade: Baili butterfly & Astra SP
Soap: Stirling Mountain Man
Post: Thayer's + Mountain Man aftershave splash

Today I decided to use a lesson I learned when I got into cooking -- I was timid with my seasoning at first. When I finally got a bit more confident I found that a bit more seasoning during cooking did wonders for the foods' end result. With lathering it's water. I've been too cautious at first but today I went with quite a bit more water than I have been (this is shave #7) and I ended up with a bowl full of Mountain Man goodness that got me through 3 passes and then some!
