Razor - Executive Shaving Outlaw
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - Grizzly Bay "Snow Stars" 26mm Quartermoon
Soap - Ariana & Evans Grecian Horse
A/S - Brickell unscented

I officially love this razor; it does such a great job. What excellent smoothness with this blade. I knotted this handle after having it for a while, and the Quartermoon is unreal. I probably could've gone a couple mm lower, the backbone is low-medium, but it still has enough oomph to churn out a fantastic lather, and it is crazy soft. The scent of this soap is absolutely killer. One of the best A&E scents for sure. I was left smooth, comfortable, and smelling great.

Razor - Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed
Blade - Feather
Brush - Leonidam "Sultan" 26mm silvertip
Soap - Dr. Jon's 13
A/S - Dr. Jon's 13

Great shave! It's been a while since I used a silvertip brush, and this one is just so soft. Got a very nice lather with slickness aplenty, and the razor cruised no problem. The soap's scent is one of my favorites, but the splash is so different. All the notes separate out and it becomes a very different beast, but smells great as well. Super smooth and feeling really awesome. 👍

Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Badger
Razor GEM Junior
Blade GEM Stainless 1st
Post & Aftershaves
Ice Water + Special Thayers
Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Nice lather from the soap. Too mild a scent but thick creamy and slick quality. The brush feels plush and was awesome
1st shave with razor paired with blade. Wow...!!! It was way smoother and much more comfortable compare to the GEM Push Button. So smooth that I can go ATG on the upper lips area. 3passes for a mostly BBS result! Wow indeed. Saw some minor creepers later though. Excellent post & aftershaves.
Rating 9.5/10. Absolutely enjoyed using this GEM Junior...beautiful razor and shaves wonderfully!!

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Haslinger soap provided a wonderful lather for my shave in a short space of time.

I really like the Haslinger soaps i have tried so far i consider them another "no bells and whistles shaving soap". The basic plastic packaging wrapper with two sticky labels is nothing elaborate to look at the scent of both the aloe vera & Schafmilch to my nose have a mild clean soapy scent, performance wise both of these soaps are fantastic the slickness protection, and post shave feel are amazingly good, which i consider the most important qualities in a shaving soap or cream.

Another comfortable 2 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy Sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎

Christmas Season, Day 3. Spicy Sunday for the win. Old Spice is another fragrance that reminds me of Christmas.

Prep: Hot Shower and Bloom/Lather Building Water
Soap: Stirling Spice
Razor: Blackland Blackbird Brass (OC and SB)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Razor
Blade: Nacet (2)/Merkur Mustache and Eyebrow Blade (2)
Brush: Zenith Boar
AS: Old Spice (US)
ASB: Stirling Spice
EdC: Old Spice (US)

Just a rich and thick lather that is the signature of Stirling was in the bowl today. I couldn't get enough. I was actually contemplating a 4th and 5th pass.

I hope everyone is keeping an eye out for fat men in red and white suites.
