My name is Dusty. I am 35 years old from Bedford, VA. I’ve been shaving the right way for over two years now. My brother and I were looking for some better than what we were doing and he stumbled upon Stirling Soap Company. Since then we have got 10 or more of our friends switched over and I know Stirling, PAA & others appreciate it. I have a PAA aluminum ascension and mainly use Stirling soaps but have come enjoy PAA, Caties Bubbles and Noble Otter. I look forward to trying more. I enjoy looking at shave of the day photos of what people use. I appreciate everyone’s kindness since being on here.

Welcome to the Cadre, Dusty!
As razors go, I only have the PAA aluminum ascension. I have tried a few different ones like the Parker Variant of which I did not like. So it’s one for now. I have three synthetic brushes: Wcs, Stirling and PAA Peregrino. I use mainly Gillette silver blue. A lot of blades don’t work for me and I have found that to be the best for me.

We can't all be active in things besides work (4 letter werd) and family (sometimes a 4 letter werd!) but let him know we love him anyway! Have you tried Astra SS blades? I love GSB, but I think if someone else loaded my razor for me I couldn't find a difference between the two.
Welcome again, Dave the Tanned Farmer
Many of us have found that when we revisit some of those bladed (or other gear) that did not work for us earlier in our journey, that they seem to work better now. When I first tried Feather blades I hated them, but years later I tried them again and they worked fine. Maybe it was a different razor or different soap or just better technique, I am not sure, but it can be a very different experience than your original try.
