Plastic Shave - Plastic Soul. Man, what a funky-funky shave scent. I dig it and it's like nothing I've ever tried before. This is a good thing. I like to imagine a young David Bowie with this stuff in his bathroom in the mid 70s...

The cream worked a treat. It's no lather-bomb but it's super-super slick and I had an easy-going perfect shave with it today.
 
Thu 5
Soap Stirling Iced Coffee
Aftershave Stirling Haverford
Brush Yaqi 24mm Cavern Lake
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers
This soap has elevated into my top five Stirling Soaps. It's too bad I can't get the matching splash. The Haverford smells the closest. The excellent brush whips up a super aromatic, cool, creamy & slick lather...
The razor is as good too...smooth and crisp edge!

Today I am using a different razor and blade. Next in my rotation is a U.K. Aristocrat. This is a delightful razor to use. I loaded it with a Personna Medical Prep blade. The shave was excellent: close and smooth. Today’s brush is a Simpson Chubby 2 in best. There was not much Monsavon soap so I had to work hard to make a good lather. The Monsavon soap is on its 41st and final use. It was a perfect shave. Today I used Cremo Aftershave balm that I recently purchased. The Cremo reminds me of Duke Cannon aftershave balm. I bought this to replace the TOBS aftershave balm that was used up. It is thick and has a pleasant menthol feel to it. I used a stick to get some of the ASB because it is very dense. I had the same issue with the Duke Cannon and had to add water to the balm. I will do the same thing with the Cremo when I have some space to add water. In the meantime, I will use a stick to extract some of the ASB A perfect BBS shave. Have a great day, folks.

December 5, 2024 Thursday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, stainless steel
Blade: Gillette Nacet (5)
Soap: Sterling Scots Pine Sheep
Brush: AP Shave Co. / The Razor Company Deep Blue 24mm G5C
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue

This was a three pass shave of two days stubble. This was the first use of a Sterling soap and it was a big success. I'm amazed at how slick this soap is! I'm looking forward to using this soap in the future, it seems to be a winner!
The shave, due in no small part to the soap, was fabulous. No issues, just baby seal smooth skin!
