Excellent shave tonight!
The soap is an old sample I had hardly used. Great stuff.. all that tallow in Stirling gives such an awesome lather and post shave feel. I’d forgotten what a high quality soap it truly is. No AS product needed tonight. This razor and blade combo is stellar, the razor handle is plastic and there’s a knob underneath the head to open it. A TTO of course.
I assume that the blade gap is similar to many Super speeds...
With a sharp blade it cuts nice and cleanly! I need to learn how to post photos. That’s why my posts have been just all text!
It would be nice to show off some of the razors that I own...

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F Brad Sears L7 Tigris Finest Badger
Soap: Stirling Lemon Chill
Razor:Feather AS-D2
Blade: Vintage NOS Wilkie Light Brigade (4)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel
Scent: APR Festivus P&C 2018 LE Splash

Pre Paste & Cut Perth Meet-up shave.
Lovely cooling mentholated lather from the Stirling soap. I am falling back in love with my AS-D2 - it is such a precise instrument, and with a sharp blade like the Light Brigade makes shaving so simple.
Three super-comfortable passes for a DFS+.
But no doubt, the star of the show was the APR Limited Edition P&C Festivus Splash. Made for the warm festive season in the Southern Hemisphere, and simply glorious! And the citrus notes matched the soap nicely.
