Brush: Alpha Shaving Brushes Kryten Ti 28mm UHD Manchurian
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo H 0.50mm Mild Plate
Blade: Wizamet S.I (4)
Pre: Shower
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. Black Cherry
Post: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 30 ml // Stirling Unscented Balm
WTG, ATG, Touchups = DFS+

A super enjoyable shave to end the working week. The razor+blade shaved comfortable and almost achieved BBS barring some areas under the nose but I have a couple nasty scars from a cat scratching me in my teens so didn't want to risk opening one up.
I'm a big fan of Cella but todays soap is Cella on roids as the performance is a step up but similar marzipan scent which I love.
Onto my second bottle of the Hyaluronic Acid and love how it makes my face/head feel soft and shining... A truly Happy Shave

Stay Safe & Have A Wonderful Weekend!!!

You as well, Razor.

New cigar soap! An interesting type of cigar scent. Not the same as the Cohiba stogy ...Strength just below medium. Need to use more...lather quality is good though, richly thick, creamy, and reasonably slick.
Shave with razor paired with the blade (last used Nov 2020) was terrific! Super smooth, comfortable, and efficient for 3passes without any issues and a mostly bbs to dfs result. Awesome Whisky Woods aftershave!

I have shaved with a cigar in my mouth, not the best way to do things.

Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Proraso Green Splash
Nice lather quality but unsure about the scent. This is the 1st Stirling soap I can't smell much.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was just ok. Kinda smooth but somehow don't see stubbles being removed as normal. After 3passes, able to manage a SAS result with just a micro red spot. Excellent post & aftershaves because the temperature outside is around 35C and the cooling is much required.

SOTD February 13th - The Williams Meet -
William Elliot 85
Cowhide Strop
Semogue OC Premium Boar
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Initech Mug
Aqua Velva

I soaked the puck in steaming hot water with the brush in the corporate mug for 20 plus minutes, then added two drops of glycerin on the puck after draining the water.
Heavy load of the brush produced a good lather. The lather, as expected dissipated quickly and reapplications were the mainstay of the shave but it really produced a completely smooth BBS shave.
