Some day, I'd like to see a wider shot of that cabinet in the background. Your pics are always sharp, and that background ads an interesting element to it.

Is this a vintage Progress? It just looks a little different from mine.

I received the Soapy Bathman soap in a multi-soap trade this week and I skeptically tried it out today, it lathered rather quickly, it had a great sweet scent, and it held up very well on the face. I likely would have never purchased this soap but now I might have to check SB's other offerings.

Lapsang Souchong
Head/face shave at the sink, this time. This was about 2 hours after my shower. I didn't intend to shave today, but I was anxious to try-out my new Stirling soap that arrived yesterday. So, prep was a quick head/face wash with Lucky Tiger Face wash. I make such a mess at the sink, but it was all good this morning. I didn't follow "The Great Outdoors" theme, but it sure smelled like it!
Technique: WTG-->XTG-->ATG/clean-up.
Soap: Stirling Soap Co. "Texas on Fire"
Brush: Semogue 1250 Boar
Razor: iKon Shavecraft #102 Slant
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless Platinum-Coated
Post: Fine Snake Bite After Shave & 1740 Blackout Beard Balm (Death Wish Coffee infused)
Pay-off: Lapsang Souchong Tea from Light of Day Organics
Let's get right to the Stirling Soap. This soap is probably the most thirsty of all the soaps I've used, but when I found the balance, I was in heaven. The scent will likely polarize, but I absolutely enjoyed it. It smells exactly like Lapsang Souchong tea. Stirling has a post shave feel that rivals that of Los Angeles Shaving Soap's products. There was only a light lingering scent on my skin, but the restroom still smells like I had a camp fire in there. Absolutely incredible soap. I'm going to purchase a lot more in case they stop making it.
This was the first time I've used a Feather in the iKon #102. The 102 certainly changed the character of the blade. I really enjoyed the combination. I can't say it beat out my favorite Astra, but it performed at least as well. I can't really make that determination since this was in the presence of a soap that's new to me.
Even though I'd already had 4 cups of coffee this morning, the "Texas on Fire" flung a craving upon me for Lapsang Souchong. For those of you that have never heard of it, I highly recommend you try it for something unique. I won't belabor this thread with how Lapsang Souchong is made, but I will suggest that if you want to try it, you should get a premium vendor (like Light of Day Organics) to get a real example of how it's supposed to taste. There are many tea makers that just can't pull it off, and it ends up just tasting like liquid smoke.

Good Saturday to you Gents. Nice photos/video All! Including those I missed from Friday

thnks, jeff! like your nice vintage gem!
Well, I guess it doesn't. The head just looked beefier than mine, but I suppose it's just the angle. Mine doesn't get near as much use as it should.
Wonderful photos, gentlemen! Have a great Saturday!
