Soap PAA Solstice
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Clubman Brandy Spice
A really top-quality soap. Pleasant herb & grassy scent with a rich, creamy and slick lather...
Another excellent shave with this razor stropped on pasted balsa. Keen yet very smooth and comfortable. 3passes for a dfs+ finish. I only realized this razor doesn't sound like a hollow grind at all. In fact almost silent like a heavier grind. Aftershaves were great.

Very nice fall aromas and a great shave. Think the razor might need a touch up.
SV Desert Vetiver is my favorite so far. Woody, with what I smell as eucalyptus. Quite nice and much more my speed.

Brush: Yaqi 22mm badger
Soap: Saponificio Varesino Desert Vetiver
Splash: Cigar Aficionado

The Cigar Aficionado AS is great. CHEAP as Chips and punches way above its price point. The pourer is awful. Never did I NOT slobber down the side of the bottle.

I really like the soap. It is very very hard which makes the price a touch more acceptable. The soap has a very faint almond scent. I really can't smell it so I am going on Swati's comment. I have found it easy to load and lather. The lather is very slick with an excellent post shave feel. Having said all that, I am not sure it really adds anything to just going with Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Good morning Cadre. Hope you're having a great weekend.
Fantastic shave this morning! I must admit, I have a bad habit of overlooking Stirling's soaps in favor of other, "sexier" brands. And a lot of shavers have the attitude that Stirling is a great soap "at the price". But Stirling's products are damn great! Some of the best I've ever used. Period! Their price point only adds to it. Today I went with "Hipster" soap and splash. This setup was courtesy of @BarberDave from the Artisan/Retailer Appreciation Shave Week drawing (thanks again, sir!). Great lather and scent. Three passes with the Feather and I finished with the matching splash (plus skin food). Wonderful! Now I gotta go.. Bama's playing!! Roll Tide!!
Hope you have a wonderful day.

National Sandwich Day (birthday of John Montagu, who claimed to have invented the sandwich, 1718)
Rooney Emillion 2 Tiger Stripe Finest (24/53)
Penhaligon's Castile shaving cream (vintage)
Wolfman WR2-SB 0.95/Triad Aristocrat Brass & Stainless Steel
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (4)
Floid Blue aftershave
The Floid Blue worked well following the Castile lather; both seem to have a powdery barbershop tone. And the blade is unusually smooth, almost like a P74.

I agreed, but have found putting my finger over the hole to better regulate flow helps.
