Notes

Airing out the Stirling Sheep for a few days helped significantly with the original smell. To keep it up, I mashed together in a spare shave mug the tub of Sheep and the remainder of my Naked & Smooth and Eucalyptus Mint samples. Eucalyptus Mint + Sheep shows a lot of promise. This should keep me going for a while

* Sheep; Naked & Smooth (Sample); Eucalyptus Mint (Sample).

Koraat Sheffield 15/16 Half Hollow - Odax Ebony Synth - Proraso Cypress & Vetyver - Myrsol Agua...

Fresh JNat edge; the finest I have put on a razor to date. Just exceptional.

Edwin Jagger DE87 /GSB blade(9)
Col. Conk Fast Drying Lime shave soap / Omega 10065 boar brush / Dickinson Witch Hazel followed with Brut aftershave. Decent 2 pass shave. I had some Conk Bay Rum soap awhile back that lasted forever and was a good soap. It was translucent. This solid, green Lime is on a par with Trumper soap. Don't know which would evaporate faster.

Top shave today with the sandalwood soap and 7 O’Clock razor loaded with a GSB blade. The 7 O’Clock is one of my favourites…..it’s so smooth.

Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (2)
Soap: B&M Spice
Brush: AP Shave Golden Butterscotch G5C 24mm
Bowl: Timeless
Post-Shave: Speick Splash

Amazing shave, 9/10. I am really enjoying the RR Hawk. It's definitely a bit too mild for me, but I ordered the "A" plate recently, along with some Schick Proline P-30s, and can't wait to try it. I can already tell that the AC razor experiment is going to be a blast.

$5 kit from Dollar Tree.

8/10 DFS and skin felt nice.
The Assured For Men blade starts off sharp and dulls very quickly.

9.9/10

2 passes WTG/ATG neck and jawline 3rd XTG. Very satisfying shave and a great start to Father’s Day. Just the slightest bit of irritation on the bottom right side of my neck kept it from being a 10/10.

1950s Gillette Tech
Personna #1
Yaqi Sagrada Familia 22mm synthetic brush
Proraso Single Edge, Wood and Spice cream
Malizia Uomo Vetyver Aftershave

I love the Proraso cream. It produces a thick, slick and lasting lather, has enough menthol to tingle decently, and has the most amazing scent as well. It is perfect, but for the fact it's been discontinued. Get it while you can, folks!

I used the Personna blade and Tech razor combination for the first time, and I am cautiously optimistic... the shave was gentle, care-free and close.

The mood was helped along by Eden's House by Milky Chance and Ladysmith Black Mambazo - enjoyed it so much I played it again when it finished.

Face - 2.9/3 almost perfect BBS
Neck - 2.8/3 DFS+
Weepers, Nicks, Irritation- 2.9 /3 (a bit of aftershave feedback)
Zen - 1/1
A solid 9.6 / 10
