Blade: Polsilver (3)
Brush: Yaqi 26mm Tuxedo
Soap: Stirling Executive Man
Post: Stirling Executive Man Splash

Gave the new stirling soap/splash a run this morning with 3rd consecutive use of the R41 with a 3rd use polsilver. The blade was cactus by the 3rd pass and has been binned. The scent to Executive Man is simply amazing, I love it!! Nice lather as you would expect from Stirling.

Shaving Cream: eShave - Verbena Lime (finished)
Brush: Old Boar
Razor: Gillette New OC
Blade: Astra (3)
Post: Pb Calendula Balm
The eShave Shaving Cream was one of my early purchases before discovering the superiority of artisan soaps. Provided a good shave but post shave feel not as good.
We have avoided the smoke from the fires up til today.

My last couple of shaves of the day where a mixed bag. Satisfactory results with the nimble 34C but leaving a lot to be desired with the Slant Super smooth both times but not as efficient as expected... Happy shaves!

Stirling is fantastic for 5.8oz that’s about 165 grams which is pretty cheap, and the best part about Stirling you can get a refill puck to fill your Stirling tub.

I’m going to be using this soap only for the next couple of weeks at least, need to learn how to dial it in perfectly

Stirling is way too easy for me to dial in without any issues, better for you to learn on your own, that way you can build your lather and slickness the way you prefer, because, every wet shaver is different as YMMV.

So the enabler becomes the enabled - that's funny. Anyway, it's great that you are both happy.

Back on GC 84-P. TBH I dont know how any other razor could perform much better. It is damn close to absolute perfection.
To be fair I had growth and noticeable stubble after 3 Hrs whereas the aggro razors (JAWS, R41 and Piccolo) 10+ Hrs and still smooth.
Day 7 with the almond and a couple more shaves left in it

Brush: Semogue - Excelsior 1460
Soap: Stirling - Island Man sample - Day 7

It’s going to be close to 40 degrees in Melbourne today so time to break into the Noble Otter Orbit soap. The cooling sensation is much nicer than that I get from Glacial soaps. No watering eyes and numb face to contend with. At no point did I feel like I had to rush the shave to finish before frostbite set in.

Paired with the Yaqi brush for complete “Space-ness”...

and not a mention of the razor - it clearly must be 'ho-hum'
