Evil Dead is AWESOME!!!!!

Reminds me of the Classic Batman tv show

Quite probably the finest TV show ever broadcast. And the accompanying movie blows all subsequent offerings out of the (shark-infested) water. Sadly, they don't make movies like that anymore.

Good morning and happy Friday, Cadre!! Great shave today! Used the new Tech Hive Synthetic brush this morning. Was rather dubious at first. Personally I've never had much luck using synths mainly because I face lather. But the brush performed well. Very soft tips and good backbone. Not much splay to work the lather but enough to where I got three passes worth of soap. I'll keep working with it.

Hmmm, WCS looks like they’re stepping up their shave soap game since last I checked. How is the scent?

Interesting that the brush doesn't have splay, most synths I've used have almost too much splay. The new breed are so much better for face lathering.

Love it! Very warm scent.

I was confused for a little bit with the Stirling label

Yeah the original label wasn’t water proof and I shave in the shower so it didn’t last.

I’ve had that soap in the cart a time or two, but never managed to pull the trigger on it.

OS is a nice choice for a Sunday shave.

Good morning Cadre!!! Excellent shave today. First time using the vintage Avon "Wild Country" aftershave. It's good but not as good as "Tai Winds" (still my favorite). Had to get it because of the bottle. Hope everyone has a great day.
