Soap: Stirling Varen
Razor: Le Grelot 6/8
Strop: Tony Miller Steerhide
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2
Aftershave: Witch Hazel / Lilac Vegetal


Nice scent on this soap. I don't think I could use it every day but this was the first time I thought that having a matching splash to go along with it would be a good idea, though I doubt I'd ever pull the trigger.

Officially tried all of my Stirling mutton tallow samples, and very happy that I did. Scots Pine was a little weak for my taste, but will be thoroughly enjoying my shaves with all of them. Only allowing myself 1 full tub of one of these, and it will be between either Varen or Electric Sheep. We shall see. I have until the end of June to decide, though I am fairly certain it will be Electric Sheep.

10/10

Decent but not great shave today with a newly acquired Slim. A lot more blade feel than I was expecting on setting 5, especially compared to my ‘76 Black Beauty. Little bit of irritated feel to the skin.

The results were a very comfortable 9/10 Shave

Shave Rating: 8/10
First ever shave with my new Rocca tonight, it's definitely step up from the DE89/R89 head in terms of aggressiveness/efficiency but it still feels very smooth with this blade in it. Picked up a couple of small weepers where it took the top off of a couple of spots but overall a very nice first shave with no initial irritation and alum feedback limited to the weepers.

Holy crap. I'm so glad I jumped on PAA's La Tierra Mojada. It's a beautiful scent. Adding menthol made it absolutely perfect. Like a nice cool rain on my face.

- Brush: Simpson Trafalgar 2 synth
- Razor: Razorock Hawk v2 SS
- Blade: KAI Captain Mild (2)
- Soap: Canada Shaving Soap
- Aftershave: Nivea Deep
- Post Shave: Thayers Rose, Hyaluronic Acid

Good evening shave. Not BBS but nice DFS with no issues. Using synthetic brushes for June and the Trafalgar is a good brush but can fling lather around.

I am still enjoying my relatively new Hawk and KAI blades are a good match.

Canada shaving soap is amazing stuff. One of the best I have ever used. It is unscented so pairs well with just about any AS. Nivea Deep is a nice scent, not drying and super inexpensive.

9/10

Blade Feather ProGuard 19th Use.
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Stirling Haverford Balm
Stirling soaps are truly awesome and this is no exception. Love the aromatic scent and enjoyed the gorgeous creamy slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade was still good, still smooth, comfortable & efficient enough but just not as silky when new. Managed 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but suffered 1 unexpected weeper. Aftershaves were excellent with the balm prolonging the lovely aroma. Rating 9.5/10
