The Stirling Sheep is an amazing Soap. I used the last bit of my sample, about 1/8th tsp. It produced enough lather for 5 passes.
I used plate #3 for pass 1, WTG, & pass 2, XTG on my checks and ATG on my neck and jawline. I flipped the plate to #1 for my final pass, ATG on my cheeks, and WTG on my neck. DSBBS finish.

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Leaf Thorn Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I saw the razor and thought, “no way, that’s a camo handled 40’s super speed!” With closer inspection it’s a well loved super speed with tons of character! Btw B&M spice is one of my favorites, cheers!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A fantastic shave with which to close out the workweek! Returned to Fine Accoutrements and their wonderful ( and sadly, no longer available) "Santal Absolut" shave soap and splash. A fantastic scent with incredible lather built with the Semogue boar brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave splash and Arden Men "Sandalwood" EdC.
Another effortless BBS shave!
Hope you have a great day.
