Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave with which to end the week! "Baker Street" is becoming my favorite Stirling scent. Great match with the spicy booster "Mosswood" ASL. This will likely be the last shave with this blade. I could get more shaves out of it but after 8, I can tell the shave quality is starting to decline. I have plenty of blades so there's really no need to squeeze more from this one. Finished with a spray of Lalique Pour Homme. Great finish to the work week.

Hope you have a great day! :)

Czech & Speake No. 88 shaving soap
Haircut & Shave P075-SB Mixed Metal Black/H&S Copper
Polsilver Super Iridium (11)
Guerlain Vétiver aftershave

I hadn't used the C&S soap for quite a while. Its lather was a bit thin, without a lot of cushion, but very slick, and the H&S razor and blade were really smooth. The aftershave was excellent when layered with Trumper Portugal EdT.

Outstanding lather quality! Very rich and creamily slick, the scent is just too light. Wayyyy...too much from just a little...
I am just enjoying the best shaves ever with this AC razor and blade setup. Unbelievably effortless silky smooth, comfortable and efficient for 3passes resulting in another continuous bbs session.
Found myself reluctant to return to DE but AC blades are just too expensive...hahaha😅😅
