Stirling Dirty South Soap & AS
Gillette SS w/ Gillette Silver (4th and final)

7.9/10

I can not get a good shave after 3 days. The dutch in me always tries to get more.

A post-war tech with a heavy handle, thrice used GSB, Captain's Choice 45th Parallel soap.

I'm working on technique since I'm a noob to this. I used as little pressure as I could and limited myself to fewer overall strokes rather than chasing the Android's bottom. Worked the angle. Shave was relatively comfortable since I didn't cause any razor burn, but it wasn't close because I didn't do endless touch ups. I'm finding the balance. Overall 6.5/10

Shave 20190916

Prep: Wash face with Noxzema
Pre-shave: Glycerin + Sesame Body Oil
Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic
Soap: Tabac
Scuttle: Savanna Shaving
Razor: RR GC JAWS
Blade: Kai (1)
Post-shave: Gentleman Jon Alum
Post-Shave: Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe
Post-Shave Balm: CeraVe
Cologne: Original Stetson

First shave with the RR GC JAWS. Did my usual WTG, XTG and limited areas ATG.

The JAWS is a nice efficient razor. The Kai blade is nice and sharp. The combination definitely mows through my whiskers. Nice smooth face. Minor irritation. Two minor weepers on my neck.

Today's shave:
Prep: Wash face with soap and rinse. Musco Real pre-shave oil. Face lather.
Soap: Declaration Grooming Fourth & Pine
Brush: Omega 10098
Razor: Merkur 34c
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (7)
AS: alum followed by Epsilon blue

Rating: 8/10

There was a minor drag today, so I tossed the blade in the end. Close shave and almost zero irritation, but... My hands were slippery and at some point during the XTG pass, the razor slipped and somehow I managed to nick my chin... Other than that, there was no sting from the alum.

Minor stubble around adams apple and curve of chin. 1st shave with the Omega Boar, it will be interesting to see how it breaks in compared to the Stirling Boar.
