I probably talk too much anyway.

The Deets-
A really nice late morning shave and I may stick with this kit the whole work week. I really want to get back in that habit and I dig this scent. A somewhat wet brush whipped up a bunch of great smelling lather.

20 laps on linen and 40 on leather and it was go time. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. I like the performance and the scents that Stirling offers. They really deliver. Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. Followed that up with a splash of the aftershave and everything was right as rain! Oh man you know it. I am ready for the day. Life is good!

So something of interest. You may remember that I had a SilverLoaf razor that was pretty good size. I reached out to the vendor for info on the razor and found out that it was a 1 of 2 prototypes that he had made. Before his production run, he had to sell due to hard times and I get that. He offered to buy it back and I accepted the offer.

Apparently he didn’t want to keep it and it’s back for sale. I way way way undersold this razor.

Wow..... seems a bit messed up in so many levels LOL

At that price I hope it comes with more than the one Spanish Doubloon in the pic.

 

[NurseDave]

I guess that's free market, but it's also kinda BS.

IKR?

So true.

Indeed.

I concur with the displeasure over your return of the SR. Seems a bit shady to me.

Another very nice shave with this kit. Also found out that the missus really likes this scent. That’s good because I was going to reorder once this one is gone. Anyway, three smooth passes and I am BBS for the win! I have to go into the office tomorrow and we need to start going in more, but a flexible schedule. Life is good!

I sold a Declaration Grooming Franklin (30mm) B2 for $185.00. Wish I had that one back.

 

[GearNoir]

Ouch…that one hits below the belt sorry Tim.

No worries, I wasn’t in it for the money.

Well, I won’t get to work from home indefinitely. But we are working into a hybrid model, where we work in the office 3 days a week and 2 days at home. I’m going to try and ease into that schedule.

That's what we'll be moving to as well, but looking like not until after the New Year.
