SOTD 13 November 2019

This is the fourth in my series of test runs with Stirling Soap - Having tried Arcadia, Baker Street, Gatlinburg thus far, today I went on to Sandpiper. I'm still trying to place the scent - which is a wonderful, warm, cologne type scent. Spicy, but not overpoweringly so - I definitely detect the cardamom on top, the cedar, and, a bit more vaguely, the caraway underneath. Definitely a keeper, and an excellent choice for colder weather.

Pre-shave: Hot shower/towel
Razor: Merkur 34C HD
Blade: Voskhod (#5, and that's enough for that one!)
Brush: Omega Pro 49
Bowl: Fine Accoutrements Ceramic Lathering Bowl
Soap: Stirling Sandpiper
Aftershave: Stirling Sandpiper Splash

This soap has all the slick performance one would expect from Stirling's tallow-lanolin based soaps, and a very nice moisturizing quality. Highly recommended.

As I suspected, when I switched out the Yaqi 4” handle for my 3.25” Bulldog, which I’m quite used to, I ended up with a 2 pass BBS of both face and head. Love that scalloped head coupled with the open comb. In addition, I finally found a scentless AS that my new wife of 4 yrs can tolerate. My first wife loved all my AS’s, but the new one is fragrance-sensitive and gets migraines. I feel smooth, clean and refreshed!
