Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Stirling's "Island Man" is one of the best warm weather scent available IMO. It's an homage to Creed's "Virgin Island Water" so it's perfect for a day like today (upper 80's , close to 90° forecasted) with its boozy fruit and floral notes. Excellent lather for three passes and I finished with both the after shave splash and EdT. Wonderful! 🍹🌺🌴🥥☀️

Hope you have a great day. :)

One of my top 3 cigarish-scented soaps! What a lovely aroma...overdid with the lather...hahaha!!
Another good shave with this blade when paired with the razor. Easy smooth and very comfortable. This blade has been excellent going atg. The result was primarily bbs finish in 3passes. The matching aftershave balm ensures a lasting enjoyable aroma...

This soap is really nice and the sample size makes it great for travel. Rich, creamy, slick lather with an outstanding scent...
Another awesome shave with this blade together with the excellent razor. This blade doesn't seem to degrade much. It's been a long time since I use a DE blade past the 8th. Had a very enjoyable & satisfying easy & smooth 3passes for a mostly bbs finish without any issues. The matching aftershave is just great👍!!
