Today my Streamline & Semogue BC Texugo arrived today.

Thursday-“Stirling Week”

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Bath Soap
Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic
Razor: ’66 Gillette Slim
Blade: Voskhod (1)
Brush: Whipped Dog Silvertip 22mmx48mm
Aftershave: Krampert’s Frostbite

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angle a bit for my beard)

Today is the 5th day of my “Stirling Week”-(a different Stirling soap each day). It was MITA’s turn this morning. I switched to a Voskhod in the Slim and lathered up. Great menthol lather, great shave. I finished up with Krampert’s Frostbite. I think the MITA and Frostbite are a perfect match!
