Stirling Aftershave's are good like that 😁
 
This morning, for a bit of nostalgia, I shaved with my first true SR, a Titan ACRM-2 T.H.60 in Madagascan mahogany scales. This SR has historically not given me the closest of shaves but has always been forgiving and comfortable to shave with.

For this morning's shave, I concentrated on trying to use the least pressure against my skin as possible. The result was as close as my keenest of edges, yet still comfortable and forgiving. This SR is not so challenging to shave with but is still a pleasure to use.

My thoughts are that previously I have been using a little too much pressure thinking that the edge was not as keen because it was so forgiving. I have learnt my lesson.

Must be alright having no nose hey @SpeedyPC

Sadly I'm not a fan of strong orange scents 🤷‍♂️

I’ve checked my tub and it’s not strong to my nose. Unless, you’ve been plucking out your hairy nose too much, maybe that’s why is too strong for you.
