Nice call! I’d have gone with the Ethos too!

At the time I didn't know what it was, but was immediately impressed with the lather.

A few firsts for today's shave. First time using Stirling soap in years, and I like it. I celebrated with a new blade and was rewarded with a very nice shave with minimal touchup required. Here is another first: I set aside an unfinished bottle of AS to go with one to match the soap. As good as the Hipster splash smell, I'll be back to normal tomorrow to use up the remainder of the Dunshire.

Nice post Bruce!

All kinds of “firsts” in there. Good stuff!

Every shave should feel like that

Every shave should feel like that

Agreed, and they often do. It was more the new blade and good lather today.

I'm going to use the soap a couple more days before deciding if it goes into my "elite" status. Only CBL, Shannon's, and LNHC occupy that lofty level for me.

When I change something I document it in pictures.

The last one was so many moons ago...I’ll admit I forgot that fact

Made a better lather today and was rewarded with a nice postshave feel. This soap is growing on me.

Hopefully not in a Trouble With Tribbles type way...

Two days at the office this week is messing with my usual shaving schedule. Back to normal this morning. Good shave with good gear. My lather has improved these past couple of days, giving me consistently thick, creamy lather to enjoy. Have a great day, Cadre!

Darn work! Messin up the groove!

How’s Dunshire matching up with Hipster? Well?
