Artisan Retailer / Hobbyist Appreciation Shave of the Day

[Cvargo]

A great soap from @LNHC absolutely love her soap! Her bath soaps and shampoo bars are also great.

I also love my brush from @Techichi I would recommend getting one of these

 

[gwsmallwood]

@Mystic Water is probably my favorite performing soap brand, and definitely one of the most underrated artisans in the game.

I might be a Stirling fan. And @BarberDave honed up the Henckels.

Same here. I have 10 of their soaps, by far the largest quantity of a single vendor in my den, there are 2 more on the wish list, and I still haven't tried any of the new scents that just came out this year.

I've tried over 50 of their scents over the years, but it feels like there are at least that many still left to try. In my next order, I plan on getting some aftershave samples of Campania, Gin & Tonic, Creamy Coconut, Pearberry, South Padre, Boat Drinks, Waves of Grain, and maybe Satsuma.

It’s great stuff. It’s always a while in between MW shaves for me, but every time it surprises me, just how good the lather is. It’s like I forget or something. Definitely in my top 5 for lather quality. I always wonder why I don’t use it more often!

It is good stuff. I have more CBL than other soaps and am getting to it for the appreciation week. I don't normally have to shave every day because my current work ( not what I majored in college for ) until my kids get older I can do mainly from home ( I only have to go out about 2 days a week ). I am doing a shave every day this week for the appreciation week..

I just asked him to make it "spidery"

Still happy that work out and you liked it.

Good morning Cadre! Continuing on with Artisan-Retailer / Hobbyist Appreciation Week and today I went back to Frank's ( @Dragonsbeard ) wonderful wares. Used "Colonia" earlier in the week and this time I chose "Melange d'Agrumes". Wonderful soap that produces a great lather into which I added a few extra drops of the MdA fragrance. Finished with a splash of the matching skin food and a spray of AdP Blu Mediterraneo "Mandorlo di Sicilia". Very nice scent. Has a "honey-like" note in the dry down that reminds me of Dior "Bois d'Argent". Great end to the work week.

Hope you have a great day.

Proraso Preshave Cream / ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Melange d'Agrumes" Shave Soap / Stirling Soap Co. "Pro Handle" Synth / PAA SS "META-4"
KAI / Alum / ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Melange d'Agrumes" Skin Food Splash / AdP Blu Mediterraneo "Mandorlo di Sicilia" EdT

Second Travel shave. These 3oz soaps and 2oz aftershaves from Stirling are great for travel!

 

[OpusX]

Today was an all @CBLindsay day. Dragons Blood all around for me and bespoke Witchy Woman for the wife. It is a "date day" for us so I went to the barber and took the soap and a straight in with me for "show and tell". They were quite enamored with the aroma and slickness during my neck shave.

 

[MilkCrate]

Today was SV for the win!

 

[Scuttlesoap]

Finished off the week with CBL because......



This soap/AS combo is awesome! And @Luecke3262 - Bravo brother!

So … I broke out the Stirling @Joe Hackett again and I bet you don’t see this one very often. The razor was a PIF from Matt @Luecke3262 and he put a very nice edge on it as well.
