A perfect soap for Monday morning. Nice aromatic scent couple with a good lather generated by the superb brush!
I finally managed to receive my dream mid-1800s Wade & Butcher Sheffield razor! Nothing else but a wedge of course...hahaha. The razor is heavy... the heaviest among all my other SRs including the Dorko. Looking at the thick wedge, I was a little skeptical with the shave...boy was I wrong. Turns out to be a gentle giant! This razor's edge from the Seller was very very smooth and comfortable on all parts of my face & neck. 3passes for a dfs result...no issues at all. Absolutely enjoyed this excellent and famous W&B razor! Aftershaves were excellent too.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave this morning. First use of "Expedition" from 345 Soap. This soap is an homage to "Safari" and they've done a pretty good job capturing the spirit of the frag. Medium-light scent strength out of the tub but becomes more pronounced upon lathering. Great lather quality for their tallow Trinity base. Great post shave face-feel. Finished with a splash of vintage Avon Öland after shave splash and a spray of Ralph Lauren "Safari" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

I’ve not seen a Stirling bottle like that - is that a new style or is that an older bottle. Great shave!

I don't remember for sure. It seems like I purchased this 4 or 5 years ago. I have a couple of others. I also have a couple of their Witch hazels. Their Witch Hazel with Aloe bottles are different .Those might be what you have in mind too.

They must switch from time to time - all my Stirlings look like the one on the left and holiday releases are usually like the ones on the right. Interesting - great shave my friend!

Very nice lather qualities from the soap! Very creamy and slick plus a mild pleasant scent...wonderfully whip-up by the lovely brush...
A good shave with the razor paired with this blade. 3 smooth & easy passes for a bbs/dfs finish. Aftershaves were excellent!
